I am completely at my wit's end! I am spending entirely too much time on this. I'm sure there is a simple solution.

I have been using Limewire for 2 years now. Never a problem with downloads or uploads. Friends could connect directly to upload my files. Suddenly, I noticed there were no more uploads! Rarely even an attempt. When there is an attempt to upload, the monitor shows TRANSFER INTERRUPTED.

I tried changing the IP via ipconfig/release, left it disconnected overnight, and then ipconfig/renew. It did not change the IP. I'm not even sure if this is the problem anyway. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Limewire. I tried changing number of slots, but I never had a problem uploading with the original settings before so this probably isn't the cause either.

Limewire shows a different IP address than I used to have a few months ago. How do I change it back?

When I go to myidplease.com and whatismyip.com it shows a different IP than what Limewire says I have.

I am running Windows XP. I have internet via cable through Comcast.

This is very frustrating and I would certainly appreciate your expertise. Thank you for your help!
