I even bought and installed LW Pro! It still can't connect. I see the brick wall over the globe, even though I have removed the Macafee firewall, and completely disabled WinXP firewall, yet the brick wall still shows. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

In limewire Links (below) click on (systems details) and fill in as much as you can and post back here. With regards to Firewalls - you would be better off disabling windows firewall and using macafee firewall -- add limewire as an exception - also check out these Links (If LW will not connect) (LW troubleshooting)

In Limewire Links [below] click on (If LW will not connect) and work your way through these fixes -- if that dont work try (connection problems) also (LW Troubleshooting) finally if still not working click on (system details) and fill in as much as you can and post back here . Also tell us what you have done so far to try and get it working.
