Also try updating your Java...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

thanks

bloody thing isnt working...ill work on it tomorrow more...thanks though

Don't give up tomorrows another day..;)

When you Port Forwarded did you enter the same number (just the one number) into all the boxes you where instructed to ?? It has to be the same number for the TCP and the UDP..
Also did you enter that same number into the maunual port forward and the listen port boxes and select apply within Limewire ??

Yep...Did exactly what the instructions asked on that URL you showed me..I'm gonna uninstall the java programme and install the one you reccommended
