First of all I'm glad to see that I got a response as quick as I did
with regards to my issue I'm having.

@ Lord of the Rings: I'm unsure what you mean by "your
gnutella.net file is out of date", but I just installed this
program, as noted in my OP. If there is some file I need to
update, an explanation as to how to do that, or where to
find it, would have helped.
I used a product called Revo Unistaller, to remove my old
version of Limewire, which would have done a much more
thorough job of uninstalling the product, and would have
taken LW off my firewall exceptions list. I've checked, and
LW is on that list currently. I did check, and there is only
the Windows Firewall enabled on this computer. Next I
followed the link you provided.

As previously noted, LW is already an exception to my Firewall.
I've looked into setting up an exception on my router, and my
particular router is not listed so that I may do this. Therefore
I don't know how to make this exception, and if it needs to be
done, then I'll need more info to accomplish this. I then
started from scratch, and still got no results.

@ birdy: I followed your link, and have done the following,
& some of which is just repeat efforts as stated above;

I'm only using 1 firewall. It is configured to allow LW. My
router is not listed on the Website "Portforward.com". And
I am still behind a firewall. I have again attempted the
removal, and adding of new rules for LW.

I tried the "exit, and restarting of LW" to no avail.

I have removed Java that I had installed on my system,(V.6.14,
installed on 8/06/09), and have installed v.6.16.

Restarted LW. The removal, and re-installation of Java APPEARS
to have worked. The application is loading, or "adding" some,
if not all of the 1,947 files I had on my system already. Also
the notice regarding me being behind a firewall has changed to
state that I now, "support firewall transfers." And my
"connection" status is now at 5 bars, and states I have a
"Full" connection.

I'm not certain exactly which part of all of the work I did
accomplished my connection, but it was after the install of
Java v6.16, that everything seemed to change. I don't think I
would have changed the order of anything though. (Meaning, I
wouldn't skip any of the previous steps for anyone reading
this post later on in hopes of "shortcutting" to an end
result)

I AM thankful for the help, however I think you people need
some help in your own manners. I made a 3 line statement
about the junk (1/2 a page), that someone has to go through,
in order to get to the info they need for help, and you people
spend 3/4 of YOUR time admonishing me for it. How ridiculous.
Your site wouldn't need that information if it was laid out
better, and more organized. But apparently you'd rather spend
your time yelling
at people, (and in the case of the inept, "ukbobboy01", who
I'm certain loves the fact that he can hide behind a keyboard,
instead of facing someone in the flesh)rather than point them
in the right direction. I realize that EVENTUALLy, you got
around to helping me, but you certainly wanted to get the
bitching part off your chests first, didn't you? And I do
realize that there are alot of people that don't know how to
post in a public forum, but I don't think chastizing people is
the most productive way to help them. How about an "easy to
find Glossary" to help people understand the terms you're
using? You've been at this for so long, you've forgotten what
it's like to come into this as a newbie, and not know everything
that is needed. Or maybe you just don't care. Either way, I
think your response to me was rather unwarrented, AND obnoxious!
BTW, part of my disgust for this process of yours stems from the
fact, that I DID PAY FOR THE PRO VERSION OF THIS SITE AT ONE TIME!
It was about 4 years ago, when I owned a different computer. It
was an HP, and a piece of crap. Eventually HP bought it back
from me. When I got this Dell that I'm using now, and tried to
reconnect to my Pro version of this product, like I had been told
I would be able to do, "FOR LIFE", I was unable to. I tried
contacting customer support, I tried every conceivable combination
of my name, and passwords ( I had the combination for this site
written down, and they no longer worked), I could think of,
and couldn't access my account with Lime Wire. And your "customer
support" was no help either.

So, I don't give a damn what you people think of how I'm handling
this situation. I was told that when I paid for the "Pro" version
of this product, that I could use it for life, and would "NEVER"
be charged for it again. I don't like being lied to, or ripped
off. And this company has done both to me. So my desire to not
hurt anyones feelings here doesn't mean squat to me! And
believe me, when I say, that was the nicest way I could put
that. You want people to be friendly, and helpful to each
other on these forums, and then you let that little **** ant,
"ukbobboy01" make the insulting comments he did instead of
helping out? Don't you have moderators to review
peoples' posts? Sounds more like you guys need some serious attitude
adjusting to me. And BTW you little prick "bob boy", if you
want obnoxious, you ain't seen nothing yet. Get a life you little
maggot, and come out from your little dungeon, and DO SOMETHING
ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTIVE, instead of throwing little jabs at people
from beind a keyboard! We over here on this side of the pond have
a name for people like you who throw names at people and then run
and hide behind their mommies. We call people like you, PUSSIES!

OH, and just in case some moderator wants to "censor" my comments,
I DON'T CARE! You let this idiot "bob boy" get make his comments for
the other two posters, then I feel, I can make mine.

Thanks, have a Great Day!
LOL
