I have a cable connection.

I run win 98, 256mb ram, and a firewall.

I have no problems with the firewall.

I have no problems with the "always on" connection......

Sort of...

See, when I am NOT running the Lime Wire software, I get CONTINUOUS "hits" (Pings, inquiries, etc)

I feel that once I disconnect from the limewire servers, i SHOULD be disconnected ENTIRELY!

My IP shouldn't be "seen" by ANYONE after I log off.

It took me (till now) 5 minutes to type this e-mail, and in order to finish it, I just unplugged the cable line.

(Too many firewall pop-up interactive windows!)

Could you PLEASE address this situation of the ip's still being seen by the network?

I mean, I am logged OUT of Limewire. WHY does it still think I am logged on?

ANYONE with suggestions, please feel free to drop me an e-mail, as I rarely have time to look back at a forum to see the response. (Well, also post here, so others can get the message!)
