The computer came with a free trail of Napster already installed and it ran fine no problems BUT I am not a fan of napster so when the trail ran out I uninstalled it and installed LW. I tried the frostwire too and having the same problems. The file was like 25.3 MB, not all that big. As far as Java goes I am kinda stuck with Java 6 cause I need it for other programs I have and use. I tried an older version but the other programs weren't working right and kept asking me to upgrade. Regardless of the port I use I still have the connection problem. There has to be a simple solution to fix this ...
Do you mean that the gnutella.net is 25.3 KB ( if it's MB then there's something very wrong)?

You said that older versions of LW "weren't working right & kept on asking me to upgrade"...older versions will always ask you to upgrade. If the older versions were connecting then I'd go with them (ignore the upgrade nag - that's just LW trying to make money).

I don't know if I can help you any more. The deleting of prefs folder is very often the simple solution but you don't seem to want to tell me how that went, so... I don't have a clue.

Try Phex
