I waited a while to see if any connections would stay, but they all say error and disappear so after about 5 minutes I'm left with just a blank screen. I really don't think I have a personal firewall, I have Norton anti-virus, but there's no option for a firewall through that program. And yes, I am quite familiar with imesh I just don't like how you have to have a specific license to play the songs in a different media player. I'm sorry I've having such a difficult time with this. Hopefully I will understand it soon.
