This is getting to be more frustrating than marrying your Mother-in-Law. Speed deteriorates to nothing before disconnect on my home machine, a P-4, 1800, 1 ghz. RAM, broadband. Minor freezes. Fails to exit on prompt. Task Manager kilt it. Try again. Shows Firewall. No firewall in the way. Showed it anyways. Yea, I configured the router, EZ by CA, and Windows. Kilt EZ. Disabled Windows. Disabled Route Firewall. Hey, hackers come get me wide open..........LimeWitch says I have a firewall.......worse than the IRS. Says I owe taxes on money I never made...... damn porn all over on my searches........put up the filter......well if that is all LimeWitch is going to let me have I might as well download it.....PORN anyone.......Can you recommend a good drug??

ACID Works

i recieved the same alike error in console, post is here: http://gnutellaforums.com/showthread...502#post151502

Yeah, that's what those websites are for - LW believes those would be up all the time, so if you can't connect to them you don't have an internet connection.

So, was your internet connection working just fine when you saw those error messages? Did you have any warnings in the windows event log?

No warnings in the event log. I do not know about the internet I was not at home when it happened. The stack trace was in the dos window must have been self generated. I do know that at the point that I returned limewire was not connected but internet was working.

Ok.. do you remember if you had to restart LW to get it to connect, or was just selecting "connect" from the menu enough?

Selected connect it worked.

I had the same happen also. Left LW running overnight in the morning I had the message you do not appear to have an internet connection.

I closed the warning box, and checked LW. It was still d/l and u/l.
It was as though LW had just come out of idle mode. Only had 1 connection in the connection tab window, and showed it being connected for about 9+ hours. It was connecting to other as I was checking it.

I did not have to restart or reconnect LW.

So limewire was showing that it did not have an internet connection when in fact it had a stable ultrapeer connection? Interesting.

But keep in mind that such a warning dialog may appear at some stage, yet LW is happily going about its business. I noticed that happen many times. I turn the monitor on in the morning with LW 4.8.1 even. As you suggested, it may be a bug with the idle/sleep function.
