I didn't edit out anything. If you care to look, you will see your blunt remark is still there untouched, and all I did was add a request for an explanation (as I was not aware of breaking any rules, and certainly hadn't 'posted all over the place' as the accusation alleges).

As a Moderator in other forums I find that simple courtesy works, every time. So does patience with newbies. That is not too much to ask. Have a nice day.

I finally managed to connect by deleting the preference files. If you search for everything containing limewire and gnutella in spotlight and delete them and then download limewire again and install it it works fine with Mac OSX firewall off.
