everytime i connect to limewire, all i get is one measly red bar in the corner. the bar then equates to LW saying how poor of a connection i have. i have troubleshooted with windows xp firewall, zone alarm, and i have downloaded the most recent java i could find. my xp firewall is off and all of the limewire related programs are fully allowed through my zone alarm connections

yet nothing ever works. everytime i want a song, LW "still needs to connect to the network." i gave it time, but it never got any better.

any ideas?
