by the way it says its downloading jre

sounds right. You need the jre to use java applications like FrostWire and LimeWire

Hello,
I am having a horrible time connecting to any p2p hosts. I have limewire,frostwire, kazaa,bearshare, and afew other smaller ones. I have thoroughly read the previous 600 posts about this issue but I still have no joy. I have even gone as far as changing my dns and setting up a static ip address but all it did was make my explorer slower. I am running win xp pro sp2 i have plenty of space and memory and power on my pc and I have completely turned off all of my firewalls, antivirus and spyware . I am connecting to the web with windstream broadband and it is plenty fast( faster than the road runner we had) andstill nothing. please help before I get the gun. I am married with 3 kids and I cant take much more frustration. thx stiddy

Hi stiddy,

Start off by checking that you don't have a Windstream firewall that's causing problems...check out the thread below (same deal for FW, even though the person was a LW user)

If that's not your problem, please give us your details. Sorry for any repeat questions & all the questions apply for FW, even though they're referring to LilmeWire!
