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

Is it me or do people just like to talk about nothing when someone asks a question. Honestly some people must love the sound of their own keyboards tapping. And the award goes to bloodie for actually answering the question, rather than saying "o me o my it works on my computer". If it works on your computer don't waste the poor persons time. In addition to what bloodie said I found that by following the steps he provided up to step 11 worked; however, thereafter it did not. I found that by following the nexts steps I have provided, I got lime wire to work for myself.

step 12. left click on computer icon that appears under "program rules"
step 13. select modify
step 14. click on "communications tab"
step 15. select "all" from the drop down box
step 16. select ok
step 17. open limewire.

I know this is a late reply but it may help someone in google that's trying to find the answer to this problem. And I apologise for my annoyance its just that I was trying to find answers to this very problem and I kept getting blogs that were full of non answers. Really ****** me off!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CONNECTION TO THE NETWORK?
SOMETIMES IS VERY GOOD SOMETIMES IS BAD.??????
