please help with my connection
 
I have tried everything to connect...i have went through even port, etc. I am currently in an apartment that uses Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller and I saw something that said Limewire could be blocked dues to the internet company. I called the company and they said that they do everything to cripple limewire however, it will work slowly. I asked how and they said you have to use the limit control in the control panel and that is all they would tell me. I have tried everything and it does not work. I have no clue what the right thing to click in the control panel since I have tried everything and nothing is working. Please tell me someone out there knows what to do.

Unfortunately I don't know about it. But it's quite common nowadays for colleges to block or filter p2p programs either at their campuses or at their accommodation sites.

There's probably someone in charge of the system at the accommodation centre who would know how.
