Hey i have used limewire before, and have never had this problem. I have java 1.5, have used limewire on this same network, get a perfect connection, and still no results. I have gone to the tools-options-searching, its unchecked...i have connections checked...i have added those ips that some people suggest on here.. i have deleted the.limewire folder, i have windows xp, 2 gigs of ram, 9 gigs left on the harddrive, its on the exceptions list for windows firewall. Some one help please? Thanks! Max
