Disconnected?
 

I have been using Limewire for several months now. It has been working fine up until now. It has started to give me a message to the effect that it is still connecting when I try to run a search. It will not return any search results and then quickly disconnects me from the network. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Would you provide the following information.

Computer type and CPU
Operating System (MAC,win98)
Firewalls
LimeWire Version
Java Version
Modem type and model no
Router type and model no.
Connection (Dialup,ADSL,DSL,Cable)
Who is your Internet Service Provider

Thank you
