slvrgalant,
XP has it's own firewall. Check that it's allowing LW.
User Cant Connect - LimeWire

Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Some people have had connection problems with the Java version that you have. You can either try updating to the latest version here (I have this one & LW's working fine): Java SE Downloads
or try this older version, which has worked well for lots of people: Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
Whichever Java version you use, download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before installing another one.


malzex,
Make sure that the Windows firewall's off & that McAfee's allowing LW. Try removing the LW rules within McAfee's configuration & then start from scratch & add new rules for LW. The link below might help.
Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center

Then delete the preferences folder & try different Java versions, as I told slvrgalant.

How do I go about and delete every folder of limewire?

[birdy]

Sorry...I'm not sure what you mean.

Do you mean how to delete the preferences folder? Just have a look at that link 'fixes for LW' & you'll see both the old & new folder locations.

Or, do you want to remove all traces of LW from your computer?

[malzex]

I tried that method u told me more than once and still can't get Limewire 2 connect thru that firewall!! Anything else that I'm missin or doing wrong?

[malzex]

Do I need 2 delete all traces of LW?

[birdy]

No, you don't have to do that yet

When you deleted the preferences folder, did you make sure that LW was closed? Otherwise it won't work. And did you also look for a folder in the old and new locations? After you deleted the folder(s), did all of your settings within LW's options change back to default?

If you're sure you deleted that prefs folder properly, try changing Java versions & see if that makes any difference. Use the older version of Java, it's pretty reliable. Reboot your computer after installing the new Java.
