Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No. 12.

It loads fine but the bars constantly say, 'currently connecting', nothing really happens. Beside that the connection (?) says [Arrow Down] 0 @ 0 KB/S [Arrow Up] 0 @ 0 KB/S. I've done everything, updating the gnutella file, updating Java, deleting the preferences folder, and yes Limewire was fully shut down. I have no idea what is going on, I've provided the most details that I can. Help is greatly appreciated. Any questions, just ask. Thanks. |
