oh yea and i only have one green bar under network connection.

I will follow any instructions given to help LW connect--even the portfowarding one providing it is absolutly neccessary. Because I read that if I had to restart my computer for some reason the new static IP address may be reset and then I would have to start all over again, Is that true?
I have like several different new questions on this thread. Sorry that they're not all in one message, but right after I send the message I'll think of a new point to make/ask. thanx a mill. RLC

Do you think it willl help any if I download the international version of LW?

I temperarily turned off my norton firewall and then rechecked limewire and the red brick wall was still blocking the blue globe, so what to do now?
