i guess i could ask around and just take from other peoples but i dont know anyone with a mac...thats my next question: can i, using a flashdisk, transfer files like music files from a pc to my mac???

its a decent solution but i know that other people can download music jsut fine..im not sure if they use limewire but i dont know of any other music download programs available for macs....i used to use bearshare pro and it was fatastic, everyhting downloaded in like 5 seconds so its frustrating having to compromise to listen to w.e. music other ppl have on their comps rather than being able to download w.e. i want, u kno?

well, i appreciate the help anyway

one more thing: do you think my school has something to do with that **** brickwall???

I am not a Mac person so I honestly would be guessing here, but I'll check if I can't find someone that can answer your Mac question.

As to your that USB question. I don't see why not

Others will want you to include setup for your computer. I know you are a new Mac user, but there are some things you can find out.

Exact operating system (If you have no idea then just the Name and model of the computer) This will help them to help you set up your firewall.

Limewire version and Java version (In your Limewire go to Help>about Limewire) it says there the versionnumber for both.

Also what exactly does the pop-up you keep getting say?

Any more details that you can think of that might help.

Also try to figure out what programs others are using that work in your college. Especially if anyone can get Limewire to work.
