johnny sixpack is flying high
Angry Am I ignorant or unlucky?

I have been through these forums tryinfig to find a fix for limewire but I still keep getting "LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire.". I have done the enabling of Gnutella ports on the control panel. And I have disabled Windows firewall, I have Norton internetworm protection on and I checked to make sure that javaw was on the "Permit All" list and it was. I have no Idea of what other direction to work in. Everytime I try to load LimeWire a prompt comes up from Norton Internet Worm Protection stating the it has detected a remote system trying to access my computer. It asks me if I want to permit it to allow access to the internet even though I click ok to permit I still get the same messege.

I have:
LIMEWIRE BASIC v 4.9.30
Microsoft Windows XP Home 2002sp2 (came with the system hate it)
Intel P4 1.8ghz
256RAM
Motorola Cable modem Comcast Broadband
Norton Anti Virus w/ InternetWorm Protection
I have disabled Windows Firewall
I share no connections
My test did work
I can't do the true false test LimeWire won't open
I also have good speed on my tests
I have also deleted my preferences.

Thanks,
