Actually, before your post, I read further and found to check my ports and IP address as well as a few other things and then boom, it worked. I have downloaded about 10 songs already. I am excited - only because where I work, we sell internet and I am sitting on broadband - at home, I live in a wonderful "back in the woods" setting with modem capabilities only - which drives me nuts. Patience is not even the word. Anyway, thanks for responding. However, since you were so kind to respond - guess what - I cannot figure out how to get these songs out of Limewire onto MY MUSIC TO BURN on my computer. This is totally different from Kazaa as I said before and I am just a dumb ole chic trying to burn her some Christmas Music to give out to friends. Can u help once again ?
