My ISP is Verizon. Once again I am unable to connect (no real surprise there). This is why I say it doesn't make sense. How can you connect one day and then all of a sudden you can't connect when no changes have been made.

I feel your pain, Ibarcase. I have only been able to connect twice (once at home and once at work) in the last sixty days. I have tried every remedy presented here and in other online venues - but Limewire refuses to fully connect. I wish it would work.
