hey bob, i managed to get rid of the brick wall, in limewire!

My Windows Xp firewall was turned on when i changed over to my new ISP, they configured some things on my OS and i didn't realise the Xp firewall had been left on!

Once i took the Xp firewall off, no more brick wall left to annoy me!


Altho this has still not completley resolved my speed issues, i'm still getting rather slow download speed, considering i am getting 5.5mg down my phone line!

I've decided to invest in a Belkin/Modem router, as my ISP is suggesting, this will fix my speed problems.

Is a new router/modem with ethernet connection likley to improve my speeds?

thanx for all the advice guys!
