as above i stated i have broadband DSL, Windows 98 and my firewall is Zone Alarm. I already deleted the .limewire folder to no effect as i also stated above. and all of the other things are fine my comp usage, ram etc. is all fine never had a problem before. what i cant figure out is y limewire isnt even trying to connect. cuz if it was a message from zone alarm would tell me but nothin happens.
