Gnutella Forums - help me with Limewire Pro????(and connecting)

Hello Everyone,
This is the first time I've posted a message. I have only been able to connect to Limewire twice now in the past week. Sometimes there are 2 versions of Limewire Pro that pop up and I don't know why there are 2. Everytime I open the program only one bar is green and it reads "connecting" and never goes past the one bar. I have upgraded my Java run time, checked the exceptions for Limewire Pro, etc., Does it matter if I have Dynamic IP (which is currently provided through my IP) or do I need Static IP? Please help me start downloading ASAP and resolve this problem....any suggestions or answers to my dilemma? If it were the Firewall prohibiting me from downloading why was I able to do this twice?
Thx
