Have been using limewire for a few years on my desktop (vista hp) and laptop (xp) and all worked fine, last week i decided i would to a clean reinstall of both operating systems and have installed the latest limewire but all i get now is Limewire Enabling on both systems, i have even installed an older version of limewire and still get the same result, have tried most things on the site even turning firewall,anti virus off but still no joy. I can only think that BT must be blocking me from connecting?

BT (British Telecoms) have always blocked P2P applications, some people have claimed that they are not blocked but a great majority of BT users are "Bandwidth Shaped", aka blocked.

i have been with BT for years and never hd any problems, the only problem i have now is it not connecting due to vista

Vista is a problem, I have been trying for nearly two week to connect my son's Vista PC to my wireless modem and the Internet, I was at the point of uninstalling the modem's software and Vista's communications.

However, just over 10 minutes ago my son told me he has an Internet connection on his PC. I am not sure how (I did tinker with the modem) but I am glad he has connections even if I cannot come up with a rational explanation of how it happened. I guess I will have to talk to my colleagues who have Vista networks at home when I get back to work in the new year.
