Yes but I currently have Norton 360 and Windows Firewall off and it's still there after exiting and relopenng.

Um?

Norton 360 and I disabled the firewall
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).
England
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc?
Updated LimeWire adn Java whenever last update came out lol

I've tried replacing my gnutella.net file as well but no luck.

Anyway I can find out which "firewall" LimeWire thinks is blocking it?

Maybe it's my net provider?

Thanks

This is crazy. I turn Norton's firewall back on and now it says there isn't one (Norton's set to allow Limewire access to internet but there's some other settngs I'm unsure about)
