Hi

I have just downloaded Limewire, and it will not connect. I only get one bar, and says it is trying to connect to the network. I am currently running Windows Vista Ultimate. Before when I had Windows XP, Limewire ran perfectly fine.

I have tried everything. I have configured Windows Firewall, I have went to Port Forward and followed instructions to my Actiontec GT704-WG router, and I still can't do it. I even did all the suggestions on the Limewire options. I have no more options. I have even tried Frostwire, and I still can't connect. Even my uTorrent can't get anything either.

I would appreciate all the help I can get. I am really stuck. Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it!

And here is some information that is useful for you to help me out, to make things easier.
