I did what you suggested, but it hasn't helped. Also when I try to change the listening port limewire freezes... even if I try to disconnect so it's not attempting connection. I took the instructions from portforward.com - the limewire section. Also when I try to close limewire it still shows instances running in my task manager which I cannot close with the kill process button in the tastk manager. Is that normal and how do I kill limewire when I'm donewith it, The only thing I've found that works is restartin the computer. Thanks everyone
