buddah,

If LimeWire keeps restarting on it's own, then it's prolly a virus. See this thread: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!. See point (4), and then check out the link to Norbies World at the bottom of the page.

Been there done that, had limewire hiccupping restart all over the place until I unpluged my dsl modem (not necessarily necessary, but I figured if the nasties were trying to phone home to add more badstuff -see Wikipdeia for all the tech terms :shoot: I wasn't going to make it ez), and purged W32.Alcra.B. Should be running peer guardian, and scan any file b4 opening it (though NAV has caught many in mid download).

I too am having the same problems with wins sp2 and LW, I am definitely behind Windows firewall and can not figure out how to work around it or better yet through it. I've tried most of the fixes on this site but none have work so far. I have a Dell Dim4 pc and I am running wins xp home edition I have uninstall Mcafee Virus SW, are there any more suggestions out there if so let us hear from you. I have found the following link on microsoft web site Troubleshooting Windows Firewall settings in Windows XP Service Pack 2 for advanced users
it is titled Troubleshooting Windows Firewall settings in Windows XP Service Pack 2 for advance users, I am going to check it out some you all may want to take a look at it also to see if it can help. 2Eazee
