I have a cable modem, I'm using Limewire 4.16.2 Pro with Java 1.6.0_07. I have UPnP enabled. I have about 130 GB free. Any ideas?
For a start, choose one firewall or the other. Norton & Windows firewalls clash & results in less security not more, and other strange behaviour.

Check each of these suggestions http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html sometimes a combination of these suggestions does the trick.
