16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). USA

Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? no, i have added nothing but limewire and that was last week. nothing else.

thanks for the help

dodgec,

you have 2 firewalls running -- this causes problems and reduces your computer security -- disable your windows xp firewall -- see if you can connect now -- if not try those fixes again -- if still no good try an older version of LW from here (try version 4.12.6 -- download java 1.5.0_11/offline version to use with that version of LW) (JRE 5.0 UPDATE 11) -- dont forget to remove all your other versions of JAVA from your add/remove program -- Start --> Control panel --> Add or Remove programs
