Good Morning. I have been using Limewire 5.3.6, but suddenly it only brings up the Lime Man box where it usually begins connecting, and then just stops and disappears. I have an older HP, connected to the internet by cable modem. I have tried downloading limewire again several times with the same results. I do not know what could have caused the change. I am using XP. I have used the suggested test, and showed my test worked. I use the standard Windows firewall. There is no change if I inactivate the firewall. My provider is Suddenlink. There is one other computer connected by router. I use AVG and Spy Hunter anti v/spyware. I used Limewire last on Nov. 20. The problem began Nov. 21. Any ideas?

I followed the steps outlined in "DELETE gnutella.net FILE (LW 5.0 users only)" and did not locate any gnutella files, even after using Search. Whats up with that?
