Yes, delete the .limewire folder. You must've used a much older version of LW at some stage, that's the old prefs location. After you delete that folder & restart LW, you should see the LimeWire folder within Application Data from now on.

Your SB5101 is just a modem & doesn't seem to have a firewall. Do you have a router as well?

Try this link for a tutorial about configuring the PC-cillin firewall. You have to click the link at the bottom of the screenshots to see each successive page.
http://www.leeindy.com/firewall_pccillin-1.shtml

You could also try disabling that firewall & configuring the XP firewall instead. See if that makes any difference You can try adding the listening port number to LW's manual port forward box (they both have to be the same number)...I don't really think it'll help but you never know! Since your connection is fine (all green bars) I would've thought you'd be able to see search results. Being firewalled doesn't necessarily mean that you can't search or download.

Update your Java, that won't hurt. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your old Java version before you install the new one.

HeHe, thanx alot! Can't believe all it was, was that older ".limewire" folder that you said to delete. Then after deletion, ofcourse like you said, I checked my "Application Data folder" to see the "LimeWire folder" that was suppose to be there THERE! I mean after reading and reading countless threads on the matter, and carefully choosing which action to take. Easy enough all it really took was deleting that folder. I'm much thankful, grateful... YOU NAME IT I am that. Thanks for all your assistance in my download angst, I bow to your apparent superior LW knowledge . You're AWESOME, so go ahead & pat yourself on the back there Birdy. Seriously, standing ovation for you there . You deserve it, you've yet helped another poor "I Can't Get My Limewire To Work" soul. Now I'm off to maraude the highspeed downloading pleasures of my LW . I'm obviously having too much fun with these smileys too, hehe THANKS AGAIN

It's that easy people... well in some cases .
locate & delete .limewire folder found here....
Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

1. OS version: W2k
2. What firewalls you have? should only be the one in router
3. Ram: 1024
4. Hard Disk space available: 37GB
5. Connection type: FIOS
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers: D-Link 624
7. Where are you trying to connect from: home pc
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have: LW4.10.5Pro Java1.6.0_01
9. Who is your ISP provider: Verizon
10. http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ page works, after 15min still works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 3 pc home network
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Haven't used LW in a while but used to work
13. Do you see a brick wall: Yes


I have tried deleting the LW pref file.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
I set up a static IP and tried opening ports and port forwarding.
Nothing seems to be working. =(

Your problem could lay with your ISP as they are known to filter p2p in some area's...

Just try this...See if there's a 98 option...
Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version.

If that fails you may have to update your limewire...If you choose to do that, save your Pro installer to My documents, that way if another version of LW doesn't do the trick you can reload your old Pro...
Try both 4.12 and the latest Beta 4.13...

If you dont live for something...

Recheck your ip. The most common mistake made when people forward a port is not setting up the static ip properly. If that was the case, you should delete the port forward settings you have & redo them. Port forwarding is based on the ip used at the time.

does it matter if its cable I use broadband? and this is the forth computer I have built since I have been using LW

This is what is causing me not to be able to logon can some one help me with this


thanks

Try these fixes and you should be right to go...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...
http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...oadfree2.shtml

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...
