There are three of us that live here. Only one other person uses limewire and has the same issue with it crashing the internet when he tries. I've read through the forums and all the information is overwhelming and none of it seems to fit my problem. Anyone have any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?

If you need more info just ask and I'll try to provide it if I know the answer.

THANKS

What stage does LW get to before the crash - does it crash while the splash screen's still loading, while squeezing limes, while loading shared files etc etc?

Are you (& the other person) sharing heaps of files? If so, try reducing the number of files that you're sharing.

Have you or the other person tried reinstalling/updating LW or Java?

Are you both trying to use LW at the same time?

Can you use other p2p programs without this happening?

Does your internet crash when using any other programs (not necessarily p2p)?

If LW loads fully before the crash, do you have lots of files queued for download?

Are you both connecting wirelessly to the router?

Could you please give us your details (click on link)?
