Greg, you seem to be the brains here, this is my first time here, so I will do my best! For about a month now there has been no problem for limewire to connect, but now all of a sudden it won't!! It's been about an hour now and still no connection! I had checked the F&Q's and they said the longer you stay online with Limewire the quicker the connection will become! Sometimes it connects but most of the time it takes a long time to do so. Today has been the worst though, it just won't connect! VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!! I looked at some of the other threads, but I'm not a brain at a lot of this lingo, I need very specific answers! PLEASE HELP!!!
