Limewire Keeps Shutting Down after 5-30 minutes of it running

After I startup LW, it shuts down again on it's own after any other warning. I searched the forums, found this, went through all the steps, but now it shuts down even faster.

What else should I do to prevent this from happening?

Could you supply these details please...
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

10. it says "your test worked"

I can't find any info about a D-Link DI 6144 (614+ yes...is that 6144 a typo?). If the router supports UPnP, enable it within the router & choose the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Apply > ok to save.

If that's no help, have a look through your router's manual for info about how to set up port forwarding.
Here's a link to instructions for the DI-614...log into your router & see if the pages look the same as in these instructions. You might be able to use them for your router.

Note that you have to set up a static IP;)
LW's listening port & the port forwarded must be the same number.

sorry, was a typo, so i made a static IP address and set it to Manual Port Foward (should i have set it to UPnP?)

I'll report back on whether or not this worked!

EDIT: didn't work...

If you've set up port forwarding, you'll need to tick the 'manual port forward' box in LW & make sure that the port number in the box there is the same number as LW's listening port & the port forwarded.

Did the brick wall icon disappear & stay off after you set up port forwarding?

no, and now LW doesn't even recognize that I have internet at all...

I was also having trouble connecting to the internet myself, so i had to right-click the little wireless system tray icon and hit "repair"

ouchies... what now?

EDIT:
I went back and ticked the use UPnP one, and now i see no firewall, and LW recognizes my connection. I'll leave it on this so i can at least download stuff until further instructions (did that sound rebel-ish? sorry if it did)

No that's fine...remember I told you to try the UPnP earlier;)

Is LW still shutting down, now that you've got the UPnP option selected?

oh forgot to mention that yes it's still shutting down XP

It's shutting down XP? Are you getting the blue screen?
Your earlier posts said that LW was shutting down...not that XP was shutting down:notsure:

Try Java 1.6. Remove all your other Java versions before installing the new one.

If you're seeing the blue screen
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&highlight=bsd

that was the emoticon XP, not that it was shutting down windows XP

sorry for the confusion :wasntme:

which java version do I download? JDK 6, JDK6 with Java EE, JDK6 with NetBeans 5.5, or JRE 6?
