I'm able to connect to LimeWire (4.9.30 pro) just fine and upload/download just fine. My problem is that I'd like to leave LimeWire running all the time and I do, but the connection 'disconnects' after some period of time--it appears to happen when I've left my PC for some time and there is no activity.

I've checked all my settings and there is nothing that says anything about persistent connections.

I'm on a broadband connection and everything else works just fine. My email gets checked every 10 min.

I do have a firewall (Zone Alarm Pro) but LimeWire is enabled in the software.

I'm also running Norton antivirus but that's not giving me any problems either.

ANY ONE ELSE have this problem? Any idea what could be causing the disconnect or "sleeping LimeWire?"

thanks.
