Is your modem/router configured to allow Limewire full access to your computer -- In Limewire Links (below) click on (system details) fill in and post back here. When you say you tried everything I presume you mean you tried the fixes (If LW will not connect) if not please do so now

Hi danny,
Running two or more real-time anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall monitors at the same time can cause a conflict. That conflict can result in slow computer performance, error messages, crashes of the programs or other types of failure. You will very likely end up with little or no protection. Disable one of your firewalls & and one of your antivirus programs. In your system details para 10 -- can you try that test again -- if it still doesnt work it means you are being blocked by a firewall or your ISP -- Is your router/firewall configured to allow limewire full access to your computer -- please check
