Default Screensaver Causes LW to completely dissconect? Help?

Have since discovered that it is my screensaver causing all the hassles. As soon as it activates (after 10min idle), LimeWire completely disconnects from the Net on every single occasion..?

Are there any techniques available to help me sort this problem out (other than completely switching the screensaver off)?

Original Query (Below)
""I have spent countless hours searching this site for help regarding my particular problem. Alas however, there genuinely doesn't seem to be any info that can help specifically me! Hence this post... Forgive my ignorance and hopelessness however computers & glitches are not entirely my forte!

Every time I am busy successfully downloading on LimeWire Pro, it inexplicably shuts itself down (LW maintains the connection while I'm busy with other programs, applications etc on the computer). However as soon as my computer is idle for a moment, LW shuts down.

This problem does not happen to other LW users who are utilizing the same broadband connection (Hotel / Lodge)! I then have to re-start LW on every occasion (re-establishing a turbo charged connection and subsequently downloading is not a problem; that is until LW once again shut's itself off).

I have in addition taken the advice from LW’s FAQ - ""Why do I sometimes lose my connection to the Gnutella network""? However this too hasn’t helped. Admittedly, my rather slow – intermittent - internet connection (which I am wirelessly connected too) may indeed play a part regarding this hindrance?

Can anybody kindly assist with this seriously annoying problem (in layman’s terms if preferable)? I’d be sincerely grateful.

HighUp.
