I am currently running AOL 9.0 dial-up on Windows 2000 professional. The problem I have is that when I connect to lime wire it will connect and download somewhere around 2kbs (which I credit to dial-up) but then the connection will deteriate until it completely disconnects and I have to restart to get it connected again. I do not have a firewall and the only virus program I am running it AVG free version. I am at wits end. It has probably been discussed several times but I haven't found anything that has helped yet.
