Your machine does not appear to have an active internet connection
 

after limewire has been running for a while a message appears saying

Your machine does not seem to have an active internet connection or a firewall is blocking Limewire from accessing the internet. Limewire will automatically keep trying to connect you to the network unless you select 'disconnect' from the file menu.

i am still connected to the internet and there is no firewall blocking limewire. also it never manages to reconnect automatically. i have to click ok and reconnect myself.

it never used to bother me as before the downloads/uploads still carried on like i was connected but recently they have started to stop.

any help will be very much appreciated

p.s. i tried to insert image so you could see the message that appears but couldn't figure out how to do it unless i actually published the image to the web and inserted a link!

seems normal as long as it re-connects.... you can only connect to a certain amount of ultrapeers.... five normally.... if they all go offline, limewire will find more ultrapeers automatically, normaly within a minute or so....happens to me all the time, it's normal. if you goto VIEW... SHOW..... CONNECTIONS... you can moniter who your connected to. Maybe your bandwidth is consumed by your internet explorer. Or switching on/off your modem to refresh.
