could this have something to do with port forwarding? ive uninstalled then reinstalled limewire and frostwire countless times and the same with the different versions of java - i still get the same results - limewire starts; it says 'starting connection' ...and that's as far as it goes! im fed up of reading millions of forums on this cos nothing works! as azureus and bit torrent dont work either im guessing its a port fault but i dont know how to rectify that either!...anybody else suffering like me??
