In Limewire Links (below) click on ) (ISP's known to block LW) -- you will see your ISP listed -- also check out these links on your ISP (isp comcast p2p limewire - Google Search) -- you can try this link (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-limewire.html) -- of course this is only a temp fix -- the only permanent way to fix this is to change your ISP
