Ok when you said you had uninstalled McAfee did you mean you had got rid of the whole program ??
With McAfee these are the parts you need to uninstall...

Also you said you Port Forwarded can you give me that exact model number for your modem/router as if it's listed at the PF site I can give you the instructions for limewire...

Did you connect fine with Cox cable on your old comp or have you changed ISPs as well, as Cox are known for shaping p2p...

it was fine with cox cable before when i had windows xp once i upgraded thats when the prob started and yes i did the full uninstall of macfree as well as the suggestion of certain things to uninstall and it still didnt work my dlink modem is dcm-202 and dlink wireless router is rangebouster wbr2310

Cox could very well be the culprit...
But you can give this a try...These are the instructions for your router, don't forget to set up the static IP it is very important, Edit... they now have instructions for Vista...;)

Port Forwarding for the Dlink WBR-2310

thnx but im not comp savy and thats too complicated for me hopefully there is another way

Well if you cannot try that, there's probably not another way...
