Sorry man, I have already did the port forwarding and I ahve it set on the correct port. According the Java site the version of Java is the only version available and should with with both 32 and 64 bit applications.

Anything else I can check? I guess I dont understand why it says I have a firewall up when I do not. It is telling me that it is trying to connect so it is a connection issue.

Do you also have a Norton firewall? If you do, make sure that the XP firewall is off. If you don't have NPF, double check the XP firewall config.
Read this, there's a lot of info about connection/firewall probs (including internal firewalls within modems/routers)
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're stuck, some details will help us.

MrMuggles,
Just check this first...
Go to Tools > options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply....

With the firewall try Port Forwarding, here are your instructions....
