I was able to conect up until last week? I have tried everything, No , it is not the fire wall. Bell south tells me if it uses Port 25 that is blocked now for business only? I use LW 4.8 pro, I like the older versions, I do not want to have to agree to anything!, I have uninstalled and then delelted all the lime wire left over folders and reinstalled but nothing, all I get is Connecting, But it never does? any thoughts? I use W XP Pro, Sp2 MCcafee products. I have checked all the exceptions and done everything but The right thing, I need some thoughts? Thnaks Dan
