umm.. well, it's okay and everything. I downloaded frostwire instead and it's just as good.

They are the same. If you were able to use Frostwire that tells me you did not have your firewall set up properly for LimeWire.

I've done everything, everything on these threads, port changes, unpn thingys, I even deleted my Norton stuff it was expired ne way but still nothing. Pls help i've waisted too much time on it.. its workd well the last couple of months then all of a sudden it dosnt connect n says firewall is blocking the program. I have the latest version and i am running on windows xp on a sony vaio laptop

What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Do this port test & tell us the result http://www3.limewire.com:6346

Within LW, go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'recieved incoming this session'. Is it true or false?

Im running on Windows XP, im connected at school i belive a LAN, my limewire has worked for the past couple months but just acted up... i have just the windows firewall now because i deleted norton... i did the bug report and it said false.. i also clicked on the link and it said test worked, and java is 1.5

You need to check with your school to see if they've started blocking p2p. That's what it sounds like & a lot of schools do it. You could try changing ports again but talk to the school first, you might be able to come to some arrangement with them. Do other people at school use LW without a problem? If they do, find out what they've done to get LW working

All my freinds LW all of a sudden dosnt work either, I think it is what your saying that the school is blocking it... thank you very much for your help
