connection thrashing?
 

When I open Limewire, I sometimes cannot connect to any other peers to see any files. My connection to my LAN is fine, so I open the connections window in LimeWire (View, Show/Hide, then check 'connections'). I see several connections, sometimes up to 9 or more, that only last for 15 seconds or less then reconnect. None live long enough to actually be useful, but they keep cycling through reconnect sequences. I tried restarting LimeWire and resetting my LAN connection, and sometimes it works. I can't explain what causes this, but perhaps this sequence of actions will be helpful to others as well.
