thanks for your smart comments only a hobo and lord of the rings.

as you probably could tell from my FIRST AND ONLY post, im not familiar with limewire and was looking for some advice.

os and p2p applications are foreign to me, and I wasn't sure which forum to put my query in, so I went for a general discussion forum, this being the obvious one to go for if you are not familar with the forums.

all I wanted was a little advice from someone who knows a bit more on this subject than me.

just to set the record straight, I DID NOT tamper with any of the settings. I DID install version 4.8 as version 4.9 was rubbish. It was once I installed the older version that this fault occured.

So once again thanks for your help.

Is there anyone else out there that could help somone less fortunate with this query? Any genuine help you can give would be much appreciated.
