I have tried everything for several weeks now to try and get my limewire to connect and nothing seems to help. It worked fine for several years until about 2 weeks ago. I have called my ISP and confirmed that they are not blocking it, In fact the tech I spoke said he used it himself at home. I have forwarded all ports with my router. I even turned off all firewalls and antivirus programs and connected my laptop directly to the internet (bypassing the router) and it still would not connect. What could the problem be? Could it be a java problem, I have the latest version. I have completely unistalled and re-installed limewire several limes to no avail. Any suggesstions appreciated.
