ive tried your java suggestion and nothing happened. as for port forwarding, i get to the part where you have to make a static ip address. when you have to put it in the web browser address bar an aol/google page comes up saying it was a bad request and has other suggestions. none of these suggestions have anything to do with the ip address. im gonna call my isp tommorow to see if they started blocking limewire recently but if that doesnt work then im back where i started. does anyone have any other suggestions?
