Yes I have connected, but lately not hardly. I just found this article which may explain my bearshare problems http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/nationa...share.html...i am now going to download limewire but have no hopes...am pretty sure it is Atl bb messing with the traffic shaping for p2p ports. Also found out that we don't have a stable IP address so can't create a static address...which I think might have allowed the use of proxies....will keep you updated if you will do the same...
