Do you mean the fixes in this thread (click on link)? If LW 5 Will Not Connect

If you've tried everything there, please post back with your system details as shown in the help thread.

Did you try LW previously on your Satellite connection prior to purchasing Pro?
Tried 'everything on the forums' ... wow you've read 83,100 threads & 326,666 posts, then you have definitely been busy investigating this.

I don't see any details about your modem or router, who your ISP is .. erm .. I definitely get the impression you did not look very hard at the link Birdy gave you.

You purchased the 'Limewire pro without support' so you are unable to use their email support. Should I thank you for referring to these forums as dumb.

With Pro support you are generally waiting longer than 10 minutes for a reply .. can be over a day or few. Difference is we are all volunteers at this forum, we do not get paid but help out in our free time.
