Angry Connection problems

I am having some major problems connecting to Limewire. It just says starting connectionand it does have the globe with the brick wall in front of it. I have tried deleting the gnutella file and replacing it, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I then upgraded to Pro, I made sure my exceptions were ok, I tried changing the listening port, I called my ISP and made sure they did not use a proxy. I also changed my jave uninstalled all and loaded 1.5 JRE offline. I have tried most everything on these forums yet I have had no luck. Someone please help. Thanks,
Bobby
