Hi nikki123...
You have left out a few important answers...
Your ISP is who you pay to get your internet...
Your modem/router is the box that connects you to the internet...If you turn it upside down it will have the make and model number on it...
What exactly is the vesion of Java you are using and 4.12. ? limewire...
