Hi duffel clone,
Go to the LimeWire section of the forum, then on to 'Connection Problems'. Have a look at the stickies (in red), these might help. Otherwise, use the search button (top right, between 'faq' and 'home'). There is a hell of a lot of info about all sorts off connection probs. If you can't find an answer, then post in the 'Connection Problems' section. Don't forget to give info like O/S, LimeWire version, Java version, connection type etc.
