So I set up the static IP address. DO I need to port forward with this new static ip address? I also checked and the Java was correct.
Do I need to restart my computer or anything? Thank you.

Yes, you'll need port forward with the new static IP address. Make sure that LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router are all the same number.

Check the port forward instructions to see whether you have to save & reboot. If LW doesn't connect or the brick wall icon doesn't go away, restart your comp & see how it goes after that.

OK, I did all this and still see that lovely brick wall. Sigh ... If you have any other ideas for me, let me know. otherwise I will search the mac section.

Have a look through the Mac sections. Do you have the OS X firewall turned off? If you want to post in the Mac section, add a link to this thread in your post...that way people can see what you've done so far.

Use your computer's search to look for a folder called LimeWire (exactly as it looks here, with capital L & W)...what shows up?
For anyone else reading: DJ C Blizzard can't find a LimeWire folder within Application Data (App Data not hidden).

...since your port test fails maybe they're blocking you. Did you try changing ports? Have you tried any other p2p apps?

ares worked for me and i had used it for a long time

Did you ever change ports? Did you search your computer (search all files & folders) for a LimeWire folder?
