-I tried downloading and using the purging program.
-I clicked that link and it said "your test worked!".
-My listening port in LW is on 6346.
-Router Configuration in LW is use UPnP.
-No proxy in LW.
-I disabled XP firewalls. I don't have Norton but I use Avast! I disabled Avast! and it didn't work.

I can connect for a couple minutes (it goes to excellent) but then it will disconnect and not reconnect. The window that says "your machine does not appear to have an active internet connection (it does though) or a firewall is blocking limewire from accessing the internet" pops up...Here is my system info...

1. XP Pro
2. XP's (disabled) Avast! antivirus ones? Again I disabled avast and tried with no sucess.
3. 256 of PC2100
4. I have 2 HDDs a 12G and 80G. One has 6G left and the other has 63G left.
5. 56K
6. US Robotics (hard modem not cheap Winmodem)
7. Home
8. LW 4.8.1 Java 1.5.0_04
9. AT&T Worldnet service

The one thing I haven't tried is to see if my ISP accepts gnutella but I don't know how to tell or what to do about it.

Thanks
