Hello Panzer,

I really do not know how my PC created that new connection. No one else in my house know anything about computers or networking. My brother just does basic stuff with the PC - listen to mp3s, watch videos, surf the internet, play games, that's about it!

So I know for sure that this new network connection was created by the PC itself - somehow. And sadly it's gone again now. After that once or twice it did get created again - but this time I could not directly use the internet. I had to connect via the dialer.

At this time, I have no new network connections. I can connect to the internet only through dialing.

You were right when you said I have another network connection because I am using a PPPoE service.

The PPPoE creates another two network connections.
So I have the default LAN connection that's created when the LAN card drivers are installed. And when the dialer software is installed, it created two Dial Up connections.
So I have LAN connection and 2 Dial Up connections.

When the dialer dials, it uses these new Dial Up connections to connect to the service and use the internet.

On the day the PC created the new connection, I had a fourth internet connection created. It was neither in LAN nor the Dial Up category. But it was in a category called Internet Gateway. When I would turn on my PC, the computer was automatically connected to the internet using the Internet Gateway connection and the LAN connection - while both the ISP's Dial Up connections showed status as Disconnected.

This was the only status when I could connect using LimeWire. Both the ISP's dial up connections were disconnected or disabled - and the connection was through the newly created Internet Gateway and the LAN connection.

When I tried to connect using the ISP's dialer, the Internet Gateway and LAN connections were disconnected/disabled and traffic was passed through the two Dial Up connections belonging to the ISP's dialing software program. This is when LimeWire is not able to connect.

When I logged out and quit the dialer program, I was again connected to the internet via the Internet Gateway and LAN connection. The Dial Up conncetions were once again disconnected/disabled. LimeWire was again able to connect.

So you see, this is clearly an issue with the ISP. That's why you are able to use LimeWire when you use the dialup modem (assuming your dial up and PPPoE are by different ISPs).

My new Internet Gateway connection was what was getting LimeWire to work. Traffic passing through the gateway connection was somehow bypassing some blocking software (or maybe hardware) that my ISP must be using.

I tried creating a new connection and using that instead of the default Dial Up connection - but so far was not able to do it. Maybe I need some help in setting it up correctly.

At the moment, my situation is just like you. Stuck! Without any possible help!

Regards, AG.

P.S. If anyone can help me setting up a new network connection, please post your advice.
