Internet Disconnect
 

Each time I bring up Limewire and get connected, my internet connection breaks off. This only happens when Limewire is running and a download is coming, never happens any other time. What can I do, it is driving me crazy!!!

Your Internet connection? You mean that you cannot browse the net but that LW can dld/upload fine, or that the "entire" connection goes down?

I have been having the same problem lately. The connection breaks altogether. I have been badgering my broadband provider but it only happens when limewire is connected.
I am running XP pro, realtek ethernet and 768mb ram

Are you running SP2?

Thanks for the interest but my ISP has just owned up to the fault,
and I seem to have normal service again. But while we are on the subject, what are your veiws on sp2? I built my machine myself and I had a bad time when trying to install sp1. Are there the same probs with sp2?

Well, if you read my signature you'll see that I use a Mac, but from what I read in these forums, SP2 creates many connection problems. It establishes "default" settings without any warning whatsoever. Hmmm. Read around. Search for SP2 and see how many results come up.

Will do. Thanks for the heads-up.
