I have TRIED EVERYTHING! Please HELP! (LW won't connect)
 

I have a Dell Computer running Windows XP with 60GB of free space. I currently have a Roadrunner Cable Internet Connection with a Scientific-Atlanta Inc. Modem. It doesn't say which type of modem it is but it has 5 lights (PC, Cable, Data Send, Data Recieve, and Power). The only light that is not lit is Data Send, while PC and Date Recieve both flash.

I have no trouble using the internet and connecting, but I cannot connect to limewire and I have NO IDEA WHY!

I turned off my windows firewall, so that wouldn't be an issue. Just in case, I also added the correct ports to the exceptions list in the firewall menu. I have no other security program installed on the PC. I checked with Roadrunner and they said that they have no proxies in place and that they do not prohibit or block the usage of P2P programs.

I am OUT OF IDEAS. I am usually pretty good with computers, but I have no idea how to fix this problem... HELP PLEASE?!?

(thanks in advance)

Oh Sorry, I forgot this info:

I tried the test page and it said "the test worked successfully!"


I also have 256 RAM... The only thing that I haven't tried is messing with Java because I am not sure what to do in regards to my Java. Thanks!

If you have a look underneath the modem, it will tell you the make and model number, could you tell me what that is...if these tips don't work...;)

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder/s...
