ive had limewire on my computer about a year or so ago and it worked perfectly fine (probably gave me a few virus's though).. but i just installed it again today and it wont connect. there arent even any connections listed under connections!! I dont get it, ive enabled it on my windows firewall (under control pannel), and on AT&T browser for the internet options, and i enabled it on my 2wire gateway firewall. I even completely turned off my firewall just to see if that would work. I read in another thread somebody said to try deleting all the versions of java, but if i do that i wont be able to download it again because my stupid computer is screwed up and wont even let me download ANYTHING off ANY websites, which is why im using limewire in the first place.
