i have a hp windows vista amd x2 processor with 160gbs... when i first installed the limewire program, it was working just fine. A week later I started to have all my green bars; however, when i tried to download songs it only said connecting... it never connected nor does it download the songs. i turned off my windows firewall. didn't work. i added the gnutella port as an exception.. didn't work. i download java 6.1 both online and offline installer. didn't work. reinstalled limewire like 5 times. didnt work. i have basically tried everything this forum has posted, and still i can't seem to download anything... PLEASEEEE HELP


My modem is 2wire. and i have DSL and before i had XP and the downloading was fast and great. The ISP is AT&T... which before was SBC. i also did that website test and guess what.. IT WORKED lol oh and even though there is a brick wall, there was always a connection to download. so i don't know what is happening.

IF there are ANY and I mean ANY suggestions. please help!!!

Yes to everything he said above!!
What's crazy that I've notived is that after each time I try to run LW (beta or any the latest version) My internet connection no longer works. I either have to reboot or unplug my cable modem and plug it back in for it to work. Also, I did have it working for the 1st few days I bought my new laptop. SO any help on this would be awesome!
