This is what I have tried....
I have tried using PPnP, tried to manually forward the port number, i tried deleting just .limewire and reopening, tried uninstalling the security update for windows, tried reinstalling java JDK 5_11, tried disabling all firewalls, tried unplugging router and connecting straight to modem, had a 45min conversation with my service provider to find out they DO allow P2P file sharing and are not the ones prohibiting my limewire connection, tried installing limewire on the laptop and it will not connect, and finally i tried starting all over completely from scratch by uninstalling and reinstalling limewire and java over again (twice) and so far nothing has worked.
Can someone PLEASE let me know what the heck I can do to get LW to connect? I am starting to get a little frustrated and it seems that the support guys kinda forgot about me last time I posted.
Thanks
