Ask your isp what their policy is on p2p use. Really do it. I'll reword that, ask them if they block any p2p use.

Also: When LW is open, click Tools->Options & go to Bug report & click for an example. In the window that appears scroll down to the part that says: "Recieved incoming this session". If it says ‘True’ then LW has no problem with firewalls, but if 'False' it does have a prob. Do this test first before contacting your isp. You may need to ask them about how to open a particular port for LW. Are you using adsl/able/other?

You said that you don't know where the preferences is. Have you found it? If no, then you haven't done everything that people have suggested. Go read the beggining of the thread.

Can someone PLEASE give me instructions for Windows ME...Like a previous user has already said, the only instructions i've found have been for windows XP only....I have a LAN connection, and have been able to connect twice at random times...but other than that I have had no luck. I've tried all the suggestions, but there seems to be a lack of suggestions for Windows Millenium. By the way, with milenium, there is no folder like u said in order to delete the preferences. Can someone please post a useful reply...thanks in advance

Have you tried running a Windows search for "Limewire"? Two folders should pop up. One should contain limewire.exe (or whatever). The other should be the LW prefs.

LW Prefs are/should be in a folder called '.limewire' note the dot in front. For me they're in Documents and Settings/User Name. Correct me anybody if I'm wrong here. They could be elsewhere for other people.

LOTR,

That's where I find them too.

Did you give up the Mac? It sounds like you are using XP.
