Go to the original page you downlded pro from. You did bookmark your personal pro downld page right? You can get to it here http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...pro_lookup.jsp
You did pay $18.88 US right for Pro? If you paid more then you didn't originally get pro & didn't get it from the official site. Pro allows you 6 months of updates & customer support.

i paid 18.88 for it from the official site, but like i said, i never received a second email. i had pro for about 2 weeks before this started happening. i just tried downloading beta, and 4.11 and now it looks like i dont have pro anymore!

You'll need to see Payment & Account Activation issues to sort out these issues. There's links to where you can get advice or what to do.

i sent them an email, but what about the rest of the stuff...firewalls. can you tell me more about changing port numbers, when will i see a change regarding the brick wall. do i have to wait 15 minutes or re open limewire before it changes?

Does the brick wall disappear at all? Even after waiting 15+ mins?

Have you tried connecting directly & not using wifi?

Turn off your OSX firewall during this time. It will only complicate things.

Possible other ports to try 1111, 3500, 4008, 1203, 10000, 15189, 80, 20282, 22817, 443, 427, 34599, 40475, 64049. (49152 - 65535)

i will try those ports but i am wondering if i have limewire up and i am changing the port numbers in advanced, will the brick wall automatically come down, or do i have to restart limewire or wait 15 minutes....

AFAIK the brick wall should come down immediately or within minutes. I had an issue with this days ago whilst using LW in a different account. I had closed LW from the 1st account, but when I opened LW in the 2nd account, it said the port was not available. I had to wait some time for it to become available. I'm guessing there was some type of lag between LW closing down & ... ?

If in doubt, disconnect LW & reconnect or as you suggested, re-open LW.

okay, i am trying those port numbers, hopefully one will work. i also have to change it on my system preferences right? i say new and put in the new number, turn off the old firewall 6346 yes? and for exazmple if the number is 10000 i change it on both ports, listening and manual?
also, before, next to the brick wall it said 'starting connection' but that would stay there the whole time it was on, it is not doing that now.

That's probably what I'd do also. In fact, that is what i've done before.

i am having a similar problem. i use a mac os x. i don't have the pro version, but whenever i attempt to search for anything, the page only shows up blank in the spots where the results would normally show. I can only see the search, monitor, and library tabs on the top and the strip on the bottom. i have redownloaded it various times, but each time it is the same thing. another thing is that this only started occuring when i updated to the newest version. any tips?
-thanks
