and yes i did a search. and no my firewall is most definitely not on. my problem is that I can never ever ever connect with any of the users. it just sits there and says "connecting........................................ ....................connection timeout" and starts over again. I have done everything I know how to do and I don't know how to fix this problem. Can anyone help me pretty please? thanks. and sorry for being an idiot.

Switch to passive mode in the connection settings area. The reason you can't connect is none of your ports are forwarded, assuming you have a router. If you have a firewall OR router, without forwarding ports, you need to be in passive mode, which means you can only connect to about 50% of the users (but almost all of the big share users).
