Default Connection problem , out of nowhere!
LW used to work fine up to 1 week ago. I have changed NOTHING! Now, all I see is a firewall. I disabled the 2 that I have -- Norton and Windows, but it still does not connect. What happened? I use Windows XP Professional, with 384 Ram, 8 GB of hard drive space available on the C drive, Broadband, and am working from home, use LW version 4.12.6, and my ISP is xplornet.com. I did the recommended test, and it said "Your test worked".

HELP, PLEASE !!!!

Default All these geniuses, and no help?
Thanks for replying, Harriet. I used to get one or more green bars, but now I just get THE WALL. So, do you mean that you have received NO replies that have helped you to solve this problem? If so, how do we contact LimeWire directly for help; or do we have to go LimeWire Pro before they will talk to us? Are there any other good alternatives to LimeWire?
