I believe Vista Media is blocking somehow.
I have tried port forwarding, changing ports, etc. I can't ever find a decent proxy server, so any help otherwise would be appreciated. Limewire will connect sometimes, and sometimes I can get search results, but never a download. It frequently drops connection though. I wouldn't be overly concerned had my girlfriend not somehow formatted my hard drive a couple of days ago. Now, no music.
