Connection Problems
 

Hi there

I wonder if there is any one out there who could possibly help me.I've recently downloaded Limewire 4.12.6 with the latest Java software but having serious trouble with connecting to the Limewire network. I'm currently runinng Window XP Home Service Pack 2 on a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with 1Gigg ram with about 60 giggs of free HD space.I'm connected to the internet via ADSL and my ISP is Telkom.I've read some of the foroums but still no such luck. Hopefully there is some1 out there that can help sort this problem.:confused: :( :mad: :bangh:

Please answer as many of these questions as you can (sorry for any repeat questions);)
System details - help us to help you

From what I've read, Telkom were blocking some p2p ports & throttling p2p in the past but I couldn't tell you whether they're still doing it:o Their Acceptable Use Policy is a bit vague...they may still be throttling.

Do you know any other people who are Telkom customers & can use LW without a problem?
