The thing is everytime i try to use limewire it constantly says starting connection at the bottom left of the screen. Ive read the tips and things and took down my norton firewall and my windows firewall to see if that makes any difference but it doesnt.

Thing is ive got connected a few times and its been turbo charged and ive even left it on overnight and it was fine. So i know it can work but why wont it work all the time and not just when its in the mood! Hence like a woman.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
