I had used Limewire for quite a while with great success. My speeds were great, my connections were always turbo-charged, and my searches were awesome. Then, I decided to format my HD because of a virus. After setting everything back up and reinstalling everything, all my programs work... except Limewire! I think it might be a router problem, but I'm using the same router as before. Without a doubt, it has to do with the brick walled globe.
Any help is much appreciated!
