Understand ... if 1st up problems then yes it can get frustrating.

Can you reply back here with the answers to these questions: System details - help us to help you (click on link)

Also do you have Norton AV or Norton firewall? "If" norton firewall, then disable XP's firewall & enable Norton firewall instead. Otherwise they'll clash & you'll end up with less security & problems with LW also. You can disable XP firewall in your control panels. For norton see Configuring Norton Internet Security

ok, my windows xp firewall is off.
i have norton antivirus
it has a personal firewall in it, and i already configured the program in the list of allowed programs (internet=permit all, category=general)

ok, about my computer, its a brand new laptop, have it for only 2 months...sony ****, FJ series, the colourful ones, green of course

It makes alarmbells go off in my head when you use plural. Limewire is a single program and if you bought some kind of membership package with movie codec pack, antispyware etc. then you have been scammed

Java can be checked by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs

You will find it on the list there.

Also we need more than just Linksys. Model number as well

yeah, only the program......
got the model of the router

Wireless - B
Broadband Router
Model BEFW11S4
Lynsksys

Went to control panel, add or remove programs, and there is no JAVA anything anywhere........

thanx
