Yesterday I went to use Bearshare and it redirected me and told me that I have to pay for the service and I refuse to knowing the there are programs out there like LW and FW. And I have tried all the ideas when it comes to the Java issues but I have yet to fix the issues and to complicate matters a friend of mine came over with a newer laptop and was able to load FW with now problems so I retried to load LW on my machine as well as FW with no luck...I really think that its a conflict problem between Comcast Internet and Java how do I go about getting around this problem other then the ways already listed on here which I have tried to do with no luck
