You didn't say which Operating System (OS) you have so I'll guess it's Bill'$ windows. I can't see anything about yur modem being a blocker though I haven't had a thorough search yet.

Update your Java: Java 1.4.x OR else Java 1.5 (take the JRE) & see if that improves things.

You could also delete your LW prefs folder called: .limewire & found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

SP2 that's probably why! Any reason why you updated or were you just following the other sheep. Sorry for the poor joke! SP2 has caused problems for people worldwide & cost amny business dollars by those who have been affected. SP2 limits port access & reverts firewall settings back to default.

Might be wise to check these out: Point A & also point B

Also have a close look at htis thread about updating your winshield installers: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=29039 (Particularly the 3rd post.)
