I didn't want to make yet another 'Ahh my connection!!!!' thread so I'm just going to ask a few questions here, hope you don't mind.

1) Is there a minimum ammount of up or down you need to get connected to the network? I am on very slow dial up, 3 kilo bytes up, and 3 down.

2) Is there a maximum time limit for connecting? I've waited around 15 minutes for it to connect.. with no gravy.

I've tried deleting that .limewire directory and restarting my computer (I did all the steps). I'm positive it's not a firewall problem, and my ISP doesn't block any ports (none used by lw anyway). Don't know if you need all my info but here it is just incase. Thanks in advace for any light you all can shed on this.
