Hi-the test you suggested came back true. I have a 1394 Net Adapter and LAN Express IEEE 802.11 PCI Adapter. I am conecting from school-Tulane University School of Business.
I have windows firewalls and have limewire and gnutella listed under exceptions to the firewall. It seems as though every time there is an updated form of Limewire, that downloads of all type of files are very fast. After this one session though, it returns to downloading nothing.

Thank you.
