Hate to say it but Timeeaston is right on the money. There are various times when I get up in the morn and a popup is sitting there saying I appear to have no internet connection. I am on Roadrunner broadband, no AOL, no spyware/adware, I use Mozilla Firefox as a browser, no screensaver, 768 mb RAM, Optioned my butt off until I can rewrite the options menu from memory, scandisked, defragged, regedited,deleted, peerguardianed,unpeerguardianed, firewall on/off/on,Zonealarm deleted. windows firewall only, that off, ports opened,router reconfigured,firmware updated,let it settle, AND STILL NO JOY. I must shutdown and restart my computer to reestablish internet connection. Still, I will not complain too much cause I love my 3 kb/s connectin with LimeWire though I have downlowned from others at 1700+.
Yes, I deleted .limewire, updated java,reinstalled LimeWire Pro after uninstalling it.
I have a second computer on my network that also uses Limewire but is not connected to Limewire at night and it retains connectivity to the net.
