Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). USA Some more details: I can boot in safe mode using the admin account and Limewire runs fine. Switching to the user acct in safe mode, does not connect (it says connecting but never does). Normal mode does not work. It does the same thing. I have tried disabling Avast and Windows firewall, reinstalling Limewire, deleting the Limewire prefs folder. As I stated, I am the ISP. I can go to my office and run Limewire just fine, using same hardware setup (but not the customers PC). I do not have Limewire blocked in any way. Any help would be appreciated. |
