hmmm..well first off I am a Mod here so I can view your IP address....I traced your IP addy and get some rather interesting results....like it apparently bounces from the UK to Germany and then thinks it resolves in Amsterdam...very strange....another IP locater couldn't resolve it at all...perhaps it is this 'issue' that is causing your situation...

hey thanx peerless, i will mention this information regarding the (IP address) to my ISP tomorow morning, maybe it is something that can be looked at.

i was considering installing java again, but i really can't see how that could be the problem, seeing as only yesterday Limewire was working like a dream & that was with a upto 2mbp connection....

i changed my ISP with speeds of upto 5.5mbp & limewire is even slower than before..... PUZZLED
