I have IE 6.0, and with AOL that is my only browser. I tried following the instructions on the troubleshooting section of the web site where it had me go into the firewall section of explorer and add two Gnutella IP's. Nothing changed after doing that, though. It doesn't really seem like the problem is with my browsers, based on the error message. Could it be something with the McAfee firewall? Do most limewire users HAVE a firewall like that? Isn't that a sort of necessary thing? Also, I know it's off topic, but are records kept anywhere of the files that users share?

Thank you both again for all your time and patience.
Jill
