Thanks so much for the quick reply.
Ha, old thread... I had not even noticed..., but am I the only one experiencing this dillemma?

You gave me hope! But alas, I did as you suggested but am still getting the same problem... Do you think I should re-install Limewire again?
Run Beta version?
I checked the ports- sharing-firewall and added the limewire some time ago... hmmm... maybe this is the problem... maybe I should have just left well enough alone...

Not sure what do do next..
Any suggestions will be most graciously accepted.

Thanks,
Leo
