Unhappy My Limewire Is Stubborn

So i have:
  • Windows XP (home edition)
  • I have regular Windows Security...but my dad installed MacAfee onto it, and i just uninstalled it.
  • Ram i have lots of
  • Disk space i have: 108,943K free
  • Connection Type is: NetGear Wireless...but the rest of my family has cable and together we have WOWWAY
  • I go tno idea what my router number/name is
  • My limewire is on my home computer at my house.
  • i have the 4.16 LImewire and the 6.3 Java (or somethin like that)
  • My ISP is probably either Wowway
  • My test says it works.
  • My wireless is connected to a NetGear in the basement which together is shared by all computers...but im the only one w/ wireless.
  • Ive been using Limewire for a long long time. My computer crashed so i had to restart it and then i downloaded Limewire again. But this time it wont connect at all.
  • There is a brick wall infront of the globe, but i turned off my limewire and i added limewire to the exceptions...along with adding the incoming and outgoing ports.
  • I do have UPnP enabled.
  • MacAfee is my security and yes i have antivirus.
  • Im from the good old USA...michigan
But yeah all the solutions i have done which i saw has still not changed my service...and im not getting anything.

I thought Windows Vista was supposed to run great with Limewire.

I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the Trend Micro PC-cillin Inrternet Security 14 that came pre-installed on my computer.

Default Help

I have windows Vista with Limewire Pro and I have tried everything to get this to work and I still can't get it to work. If anyone can help please let me know. I tried contacting Limewire but they were as useless as a monkeys butt. And no refunds at all.

Help Help
