We can start by looking at Java as the 6.1 has caused some connection problems with many users latley...

Do you still have the old Java that was running fine with your 4.8 if you do uninstall Java 6.1 you can do this by going to Add/Remove programs...

Another member had the same problems and didn't have the previous Java he had been running with the 4.8, so he had to update to the latest version of limewire and run Java JRE 5.11...

Another issue is your router it has a Nat Firewall and if you had a later version of limewire the wall would be there in front of the globe...
Your best bet is to Port Forward to let limewire pass through...
These are your instructions..
Port Forwarding for the Netgear WGT624

Default I still can't connect

Hi I still can't connect. I noticed that my router does not have NAT Status dropped down. I also noticed that on my desktop icon it says 4.8 limewire. But when it downloads, it downloading the 4.10 limewire. I have JAVA 1.5 back on. What else can I do?

Can you try this...Save your current limewire version's installer, save it to My Documents...That way you can re-install it after this if you want...
Download the latest limewire basic, use the badge in my link to connect to the official site....
Does limewire connect ??
Do you have the brickwall showing ???
What Java is it using ??

Would the name of the file be limewire.exe? I just want to keep the same skin format.
Thank You So Much
