Have a problem with staying connected. I can get connected for a few seconds then it goes to "connecting" and then either stays like that, or tells me I have no internet connection, when I am still online, so the connection is obviously there, but for some reason Limewire is dropping it or cant see the connection.

Obviously I cant "search" either cos it does the same thing, it comes up on the tabs at the top but just keeps telling me its connecting but nothing happens

I have tried the firewall exceptions part and its not made any difference. What else can I try? I have Windows firewall off and have AVG free as the firewall. I have windows xp operating system and this is a new computer

By the way, I hate this new version and would be happy if someone can tell me how to get back to an older version
