I just downloaded limewire (free version 3.6.15) and java2 from your website. The download and program installations went fine, but I can't seem to connect ( using connect tab under File tab) when I'm online(Disconnected/ no files available). I'm using win xp home and my service provider is earthlink(56k dial up modem) and I use earthlink's browser. Does earthlink prevent using file sharing programs?

I closed the lw program and deleted the .limewire settings folder, as suggested on this board. I also went to the tools tab and unclicked the connect at startup option as someone suggested. Still no connection.

I'd sure like to know what my options are for connecting, or if I just can't get there from here.
