user name pop-up

Yeah but the fact that this just started recently, when I have been using Limewire for over a year suggests to me at least that something sinister might be going on. Not to mention that it is reallly dammned annoying

OK, so it was intended for private networks. That's fine, but what has NOT been answered is what info, if any, is passed back out if you enter anything. I haven't entered any info, and it would be foolish to do so. Shame on all of you who have. I can't believe anyone would be so naive.

So, again the question is what, if anything, is passed back out from this dialog?

BTW, I have been adding the IP's from them into my blocked IP list, in the hopes they would not come back after awhile. I have not yet seen the end of them.

Just FYI, any information you entered is sent to the host requesting validation.

If you upgrade to the latest version, you'll no longer receive the popup boxes.
