help i have connection problems
 

i have aol 9 and every time i connect to lime wire after about 10 mins or so lime wire gives me an error report "there may be a fire wall or you do not have a internet conection" lime wire is enabled to have full access to the internet and the fire wall that came with server pack 2 on xp pro is off. i connect to the internet with a bt voyager 100 usb adsl modem via broadband. when i lose connection aol sticks for a bit b4 it shuts down and when i try to shut down the pc it gets to saving your settings and just stays there. i have to shut down the pc by the on off switch and i dont think this is good for my pc. if you can hellp please let me no by e-mail or reply to this post i will be most greatfull if you can hellp me. thanks in advance from ( badboy1967 )

Hi do you have any other net equipment such as router or is your usb modem simply direct. Where are you connecting from (home, school, work, etc.) ? It might be worth havng a look at this thread about AOL (click on link) Also do this test (click on me) & tell us whether it's true/false.

my connection problem
 

no router that i no of. i connect straght from the usb modem. my connection is from home. is it safe to use add/remove programs to remove aol connectivity services, aol spyware protection and aol toolbar? i cannot find port magic, aol couch or aol dialer. the test is true. sorry to be a pain but i am no expert with computers.

Sorry to be a pain but i am no expert with Windows. I don't know about your question (I use mac.) Another member may need to answer that one.

i have connection problems part 2
 

further to my last post "help im having connection problems" in "connection problems" forum.

when i right click the lime wire icon and click "run as..." i have a box with a tick in it and it states under it " this option can prevent computer virus from harming your computer or personal data, but selecting it might cause the program to function improperly" and when i click the ok tab i get a lime wire lancher error message stating "lime wire was unable to load" please download and install lime wire again.

could this be anything to do with my problem (please see previouse post as above)

if this will sort my problem will removing the tick from the box harm my computer?

thanks in advance to any one that can hellp me from (badboy1967)

me again
 

forgot to mention that if i double click the lime wire icon i conect ok for about 10 mins then the problems start.

thanks peerless
