Been messing around with this for weeks now. Tried everything.

I am running Win2000

I am a SouthWest Bell DSL customer with a 2wire router

There are two other computers that successfully run Limewire in my apartment. One is a PC that is wired, the other is a laptop that is wireless. They are both WinXP.

The computer I am having problems with is a laptop and is connected wirelessly.

I'm running Norton, and have allowed Limewire and javaw.exe to access the internet.

I have set my 2wire firewall to allow Gnutella on port 6346. At first when I tried to do this, it wouldn't allow it because the port was already being used. I still don't know what was using it (I downloaded a program to tell me what programs are using what port, and I didn't see a conflict), but the next day when I tried to force my 2wire firewall to allow Gnutella, it accepted it.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have shut down Limewire and deleted the .limewire folder and restarted, I have unchecked the "Connect at Startup" and restarted, I have changed the port to 7000 and restarted.

At one point I was using ZoneAlarm. I deleted it before I installed Norton. To be certain that there weren't any residual blocks from ZA, I re-installed it, manually went in and allowed all access for Limewire and javaw.exe. When this didn't work, I uninstalled ZA again.

I have used AdAware, I know that in the past I've seen problems from AdAware on other computers (causes Outlook to stop connecting). I'm not sure if it is causing the same for LimeWire, and I wouldn't know how to correct it if it were.

I hope this is enough information for someone to be able to help, I really don't want to have to clean up all te spyware from other file sharing programs. But I will if I can't get this to work.

Thanks!
