Thanks, wonderingwhy, for the frostwire suggestion. I am thinking about trying something different. Limewire's just driving me crazy. I got my modem(or maybe it's the router) from my cable company. They're the ones that keep it going.
Grandpa, I gt limewire from the internet not a music store and I have already configured the only software firewall I have which is windows. I don't have one from AOL. I have the their safety and security center, but the firewall with that was never installed as I had norton at the time that I got it. I don't have norton anymore. It drove me more crazy than limewire.
