Unfortunately, the problem is not solved...
I get the exact symptoms as before: LW working, then no connection, warning on Event View saying "Tcpip", shut down and restart LW, only Lime-window appears etc

In addition to that, every time this happens with LW (After LW having stopped downloading and me shutting it down) I cannot view ANY website on internet explorer, although Im still connected, I get the usual "page cannot be displayed" and "server not found" messages, while when LW was WORKING, I could visit every webpage and it was fine........

I have shut down the windows firewall, and on McAfee LimeWire continues to have full access to the net. When the problem ocured again my preferences where (after having deleted the preference folder): downloads limited to 4 max parrallel downloads, uploads to 2 per user and 8 max..is that still too much?
My speed was unlimited both for downloads and for uploads, ultrapeer function deactivated but OOB search on.... does that cause my problems? (My connection speed is 786 kbps broadband)

I have also discovered that I can open LW and have it disconnected from the Gnutella network, and that way I can shut it down and open it again as often as I want without an effect on the websites on internet explorer, therefore LW causes the problem only after having been connected to Gnutella network for some time, but in which it is working just fine........help....?
