some other things to note are: I've been on LW for about 3 years with no problems. Upgraded to this new comp about 4 months ago, still no problems. upgraded to version 4.14 and got firewall issues. went back to old version of 4.12 and still firewall issues. I've already tried the java fix,deleting the pref folder,turning off all firewalls,uninstalling and reinstalling avg as well as windows firewall then re-installing LW all with no help. Ive been scrolling thru these posts and trying about everything reccommended with still no luck. please help.

You could maybe try Port Forwarding your modem/router, it may have a Nat firewall...
Could you post the make and model number for it please...

i already called mediacom because i thought that to and they said that there wasn't an internal firewall. but anyway it is an arris model number tm402g/110 p/n tmo2ac104. as for the java fix, deleting the pref folder and almost all the other things i've heard to do, they all didn't work.

I should probably also add that frost wire and any other program has the exact same problem (believe me i've been trying alot of new one's since not having limewire). I really feel that it must be a problem with the new limewire update because as I stated earlier, I've never had any problems untill I updated even with running vista.

Try these fixes...
Right-click the Limewire icon and go to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version.

Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator. (but 'only' if you're the admin of your comp.!)

tried both of those already as well.
including deleting the limewire java before running after new install of limewire and java offline versions.
