Hi Jimmy_T,
You'll need to give a good description of your system: OS (yep, you've said WinXP) LimeWire & Java versions Connectioin type (ie modem, cable/dsl etc) Where you're connecting from ( home, work, school) Modem/Router brand & model numbers Any firewalls that you're using Until someone gets back to you with a reply, have a look at all the stickies around, they might give you a few ideas

Disable your XP firewall!!! Norton & XP firewall are known to conflict with each other. Besides, XP's firewall isn't so good. 1. Go to the control panel, double click on Windows Firewall, check the disable box.
2. * Configuring Norton Internet Security (click on link) What brand & model of connection devices do you use? Birdy asked you about that, as it may be part of your problem. |
