ok, small progresses being made....we've ascertained now, between your problem and mine that it is limited to vista and not mcafee.......


i have set all firewall settings for mass allowances for limewire.....and had it working once, even downloaded 768mb file with it....

lets narrow this down, I really dont think its a firewall issue either....am curious, could it be the open ports or the windows defender????


lets see if we can work on this from 2 ends.......am wondering if winvista did an autoupdate on me that may have interfered with limeware after I had it working????
