OK, I tried the port thing but I don't think it works on a wireless connection.

I can't connect limewire. At first I thought it was from downloading norton but then I completely turned it off to check it out and it still didn't work. Then I read the other forums and went to that site followed all the directions but there was one key error on the page the ip address said 192.168.1 (box) Yet my ip address doesn't have a one... it is 192.168.0.### ... so I'm not very good with computers or anything but I'm thinking it might have something to do with me having a laptop and I use a wireless connection.
I can't figure out WTF. Please get back to me. Rin

[wondering why]

It sounds like it could be your Norton have you checked the web site and configured it properly...
You also didn't give the correct info about your ISP...Internet Explorer is your Browser, your ISP is who you pay to have the internet...
