Thank u!!!

What is the model number for your Linksys wireless G broadband router ??
Also when you did this test http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ what did the page say??

AIM??

the router model # is WRT54G ver.6

the test said... "your test worked"

and i meant... that I AM connected to the internet because I was online and on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and I have to be connected to the internet if Im using those programs... so why would limewire/morpheus say im not connected???

Ok here's a few things to try...

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Also try Port Forwarding...these are the instructions for the wrt54gv5, that's all the port forwarding site had, but it should be just about the same...
Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRT54Gv5

Do you have AOL security at all ??

Make note that the wrt54 model of linksys was a "lemon", in that it had firmware problems that the company never bothered to fix (yes most of their other devices are of the highest quality!) As WW suggested, at least port forward is the best bet. The WRT otherwise gives unreliable performance, dropping out unexpectantly, etc. To find out more, see WRT654G listed under UPnP heading > Linksys, part of way down this page -> Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

Also be sure you configured your firewall to allow LW full access: Windows Firewall - LimeWire

ok- I uninstalled Java and then reinstalled it. I tried to do the port fowarding, but to be honest, im not paying $35 if I dont know for sure if it will work. But the Java didnt help... still searches for songs and has no results. Says still... Limewire is currently connecting to the network... your search may not return with many results until you are fully connected to the network.
How come this never happened with the old version of Limewire?
