I'm having the same problem with limewire & vista. Eveytime I try to run limewire it never connects and hijacks my internet, the I have to restart my computer, just to get my internet back. I have tried downloading the Java 6, but it still does not work. Somebody please help!!!!

this is exactly what is happening to me. But just FYI, a quicker, but not much less annoying way to get your internet back is to go disable then enable your local area or wireless connection in 'manage network connections'.

Thanks. Any idea how we can correct the Vista/Limewire problem?

That is the exact problem I have. I got LW to finally install. Only problem is, it connects for maybe a minute with only 3 bars then drops to 1. Afterwards, my internet connection is shot. I have to do the same disabling of my connection just to get it back. What is so different about Vista. My LW always ran perfectly smooth on XP.
