Hi...

Many thanks for the info in the first post !

I am going to give you a link to follow, but please have a decent search and read around the forums before taking any action, OK ?

The info that you will see is completely safe... And a pain !

> If LimeWire Will Not Load

Don't worry about the title... The outlined procedures are probably what you must do.

None of this is your fault.

p.s. You should also probably have a search for issues regarding NETGEAR.
Don't panic... There are some people around here who know a lot about Netgear and most other router problems.

Tried all of this and.................bingo !! It worked. Finally.

The instructions were clear with the exception of downloading the offline version of Limewire. I couldn't find it so downloaded the online version and it still works all the same.

Was a bit suspect at first as I had to remove 13 Java programs at 110Mg+ each but went with it all the same.

Thanks very very much, now, back to downloading some tunes !!
