Laptop Problem

After limewire has been running and downloading fine for roughly 30 mins or so, it looses all connection, and cuts off all my other internet connection(s) - Trillian, IE, Firefox, Groupwise, etc...

The irritating thing is that there is no way to solve this problem (that I know of) besides restarting the computer. I get an "application failed to initialize" error when trying to use ping, ipconfig, or taskman to do anything, and even ftp doesn't work.

Anybody know ANY fix at all for this?

Desktop Problem

I can't connect to the Gnutella network beyond 1 bar of connection. The strange thing is that my laptop and desktop share the same uplink to the router, and the laptop works fine except for the problem above. They are both wired to a hub that is in turn wired to a router, then to the DSL modem. Both running the same version of limewire - the 4.15 Beta (but the problem existed on 4.14 too).

No idea what this is caused by...
