Limewire doesn't control the content of the network and can't shut the network down. LW is a filesharing program. Each individual computer is part of the network. There's no central server to shut down. So buying Pro won't solve your connection problem.

Unless your on a dial-up connection, your connected to the internet through a modem/router that probably has an internal NAT firewall and it needs to be configured also. Read through this thread for instructions: Connection problems? Check here first!

If your still having problems, post back with the details of your set-up: System details - help us to help you
