wondering why is just really nice
Default

Your Java seems to be a little outdated try updating it....
Uninstall your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(4th one down)
Java SE Downloads

Also your router has a Nat firewall so you will need to open a port for limewire...
Here are your instructions...

Port Forwarding for the Linksys BEFSX41

Default Thanks, I got things working.

I did not have to do anything with my router. I turned off my antivirus (Norton), uninstalled the current version of LW, restarted, I deleted the preferences file, then reinstalled the new version (4.12.11), restarted the computer. Things finally started working.

Thanks all for help!

Default Thank you for the information posted here! It worked for me!

I followed the directions on deleting the preferences and re-installing Limewire and this worked for me. I have spent days going thru every possible recommendation in the forums and this one actually worked. Thanks again! Great Post
