Even though I've been signed up with LW 4.8.1 for awhile, I'm just now learning about it. How do I know if I'm sharing my files? Can I share my files if I'm not logged in to LW? How do I know if my hard drive is being shared? I'm running G3, 600Mhz, 512 RAM OS X 10.2. with Limewire's 4.8.1. One last thing, I knew it was slow but after I read other KBPs speed I knew my 1-3 KBPs was bad. Why am I so SLOW! I can also only get dial up and it's real hard to stay connected to the internet for any length of time.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me,
