Suprise, suprise, a Mac Os 9.2.2 Connection Problem!

[umakbill]

I recently downloaded Limewire Classic 4.0.10 (I think that's the right number, maybe take out or add a zero?) for my Mac Os 9.2.2 iMac, and wouldn't you know it the connection never goes past the 1 bar "Connecting" status. I have no firewalls as far as i can tell (Gift from a friend so I didn't put most of the software on this thing) and I have tried to do all I can to open the port for LW, but it still won't connect. I have looked over this forum and tried most of the fixes for this problem , no luck, and when I try to change the "listening port" for LW my program freezes. I can change the port in the "Firewall" option and check "Force IP" with no problems, but every time I go to change the actual port it uses LW (and only LW) freezes up. I force quit and when it loads again it has the same port it did before. Help?
