Listen everyone... And listen carefully... There's a webpage that can downgrade (opposite of upgrade) limewire... go to OldVersion.com... There you'll find all the old versions of Limewire :-)

Thanks for your reply.

I am very new to this but why would I want to use the old version when I have installed the new version and that doesn't work?

well, we all know that the old version works...

Hi

ok hears what happend, i have xp (which means different user accounts) so i downloaded a new Java cause i was bored and on miniclip and the game police chopper needed a new java. so downloaded that then when i went out, came back went on my account again and downloaded limewire. and realised the connection was only one bar and there was a brick wall in front of the earth icon. so i turned the firewalls of and then searched the internet for answers and here i am.

Good ol' USA

I solved this problem for just about a week ago.. It turned out to be that my ISP was blocking almost every port I had access to before..
So, double-check with your ISP's before doing anything..

(a) With Norton, you always need to re-add LW firewall rule (delete previous rule) when updating either LW or norton.

(b) With the WRT54G, they are a "lemon" in the respect their firmware has bugs and Linksys never repaired them all. It is best run in Port Forward. I would recommend you port forward it for this computer.
Most important step is step 1: Static ip for XP ______ 2. Find your model here PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall and find LW on next link and follow instructions.

(c) Cox have been known to be not especially p2p friendly, and have been known to block certain users using p2p programs.

(d) Make sure you use a different connection port from any other LW being used on the LAN network.
