I cannot get a connection to limewire at school. I know it is possible because I have friends who are connected, but they dont know how they are. I am in college so there are no restrictions placed on the internet. I have tried to disable nortons auto protect and connect and that did not work. I have also searched my computer for gnutella.net to delete them but none came up in the search.
