Ok then lets start fresh....
We will start with the Port Forwarding...
These are your instructions and make sure you set up the static IP part as that is very important and if that goes wrong the whole thing will fail..
Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRT54GS
When you go to enter the new port numbers use this one 64049 and make sure it's the one you enter into all the boxes the instructions tell you to...This includes TCP and UDP...
Also enter that number into the manual port forward and listen box in limewire and select apply...
With your Java did you install the JRE 5.11 using the offline installer or did you use the JDK as that's what you have put in your notes of what you have tried...
Limewire needs the JRE version...
Let me know how you go after all of that and if you still cannot connect we will troubleshoot some more...
