I have tried every method that I have saw on these message boards. I bought pro 3 days ago and can't seem to get past the connecting message. I had free limewire installed on this same computer in November and had no problem. Can you think of anything else I might try. When I tried the force port method, I did get an error message that I didn't have internet connection or firewall blocking. I am using XP but don't have the firewall running. Could I have another one installed that I don't know about? Please help me!!
