What error do I get?
That a firewall is blocking Limeware to access the Internet

What have I tried?
- I deleted the .limewire folder under my name in Documents and Setting, but still no connection.
- I followed step-by-step the “Windows XP Internet connection firewall” solution from the “Connection Problems/Firewall Issues” section at www.limewire.com. However, I can’t set the IP address (127.0.0.1) mentioned in step 11. Instead of saving this IP address it takes the name of my computer.
- I am usually connected wireless via router, but I have the same problem if I connect directly through ethernet cable to the cable modem.
* The most frustrating thing is that two weeks ago I was able to connect without any problems, same Internet connection, same programs, etc.

My Internet connection, OS:
Cable Modem 256 kbps, I usually connect wireless through a router (Linksys) with default setting (no firewalls that I am aware of) I have Windows XP Home Edition.

I have had exactly the same problems.
I have modified xp firewall and norton anti-virus firewall as recommended along with unistalling then re-installing Lime wire to run through java. There seems no reason that i can think of that it is not connecting.
Literally everytime i go to connect through going to file nothing happens!!
If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate them as i think my head is going to explode in trying to work what is going on out!!
