I understand totally what your saying. I'm at work in a office building and I believe we are on cable setup. I tried just one then I tried two. I also tried the severall to see which will go thru. I moved my allowable to 25 it was at 12 when program was first up and running. I used a similiar set up before and I had no problem with it. I like the limewire cause my buddy showed it to me on his computer.
