I'm having major connection problems to limewire. I've been reading a lot of the posts, esp. yours Lord of the Rings and it always seems like it's gonna work but it hasn't. LW just says connecting for a while and if I search something it just says "Limewire is connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network." But it never connects.

I setup a static ip address, did the port forwarding thing, and then forced the ip in limewire. I also got rid of the .limewire folder and I have no firewall up that I know of. I originally had to reinstall java and limewire to even get it to load. I've been working on this all day and am quite exhausted. Hopefully someone can help.
