I have always used McAfee and it worked. I disabled it and still wouldn't connect. I allowed full access to limewire I've deleted the .limewire folder and I've disabled limewire auto start-up, I've shut down McAfee and Windows firewall and doesn't work. Limewire has out-going and in-going ports open. I've deleted Java and re-installed, I'm not sure what else I could try. Except calling road runner to see if they can fix my connection. but I don't think that's it. I don't know what to do. It's been my 3rd day trying to figure this out on my own. Now I need help. |
