i have no firewall icon, but i used to. It went away one day. Yes I can down load the magnetmix link, and when i did, it fired up a bunch of my other downloads, and my limewire froze up completely for a few minutes. My isp is through Mediacom cable in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Is trying to download a magnetmix file everytime it does this a fix, or just a test. I have considered upgrading to PRO but a lot of the posts I see say that does not fix the problems they have. Also at one point I saw a post about adding a gnutella setting into my LAN settings, but now I am having trouble finding it again. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Because of all that extra Google stuff, I really dont want to have to go back to Bearshare, and Kazaa is a spyware/addware nightmare these days! I was very happy with limewire until this started happening all of a sudden. HELP!!!

Thanks
