12. New problem with an experienced user (I suspect when Java 6.0 was installed, my problems began. I have tried to uninstall Java 6.0 and re-install Java 5.0, update 11, but this action has not rectified my problem)
13. Yes, there is a brick wall in front of the globe icon

- I've tried removing and re-adding Limewire as an exception in my Windows and Mcafee firewalls
- I have deleted and re-downloaded Java 5.0, update 11 (more importantly, I deleted Java 6.0, which I suspect, is the root of all of my problems . . . haven’t deleted all of the other Java updates though)
- I have inserted a port into both my firewalls, per my Limewire configuration, which can be found in the Limewire firewall configuration under the "Listen on Port" field
- I have repeatedly restarted my computer
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Limewire application
- I have deleted my .Limewire or preferences folder

I am all out of options, and yet, I still can't connect to Limewire. I even tried to upgrade to LimewirePRO thinking that might have been the solution, but to no avail.

I have an automatic Java upgrade installer on my PC, and suspect that when it installed the Java 6.0 upgrade 1-2mos ago, somehow connectivity for my Limewire application was disrupted. I can't seem to reverse it however.

PLEASE HELP!
