16. What country are you living in?
USA I just installed XP Service pack 3 about 2 hrs ago and since restarting the computer, I cannot get limewire to connect. There have been no other changes to the system, router setup, or modem setup. I have uninstalled limewire twice, reset the defaults with limewire open and closed. Restarted the computer multiple times. Tried closing the tips screen, too. Frostwire works perfectly, but then, tried limewire and it was still doing the same thing...not able to connect. My Mcafee firewall has been set to allow Limewire full access and windows firewall is disabled. I'm not sure what else to do... Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, pixie
