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!!!

Greg last posted on this thread in 2001 -- you could be waiting awhile -- in the meantime I'll see if I can help you -- In Limewire Links (below) click on (system details) and fill in as much as you can and post back here

I was checking out your links, and I tried the one that you hit disconnect and wait five mins. and then hit connect! I don't know if it was just lucky, but it worked in a little bit after I reconnected! THANKS a million!!!! I hope it continues to work!

THANK YOU! Kind words from real "BRAINS" are well appreciated!! I copied and pasted a couple of your threads for easy access if needed!

Also I just opened Limewire and it connected immediately!!! Unbelievable!!! It's great to be connected once more! But in case I do have any more problems I know who I can turn to!

Au Revoir!
