Well there is all my info that you may need to help me.

My problem is that Limewire opens and evrything but won't connect. It jacks my internet as you've probably heard about before and I need to restart/disable network connections.

The error message displays after about one minute at one red bar.

It says my machine does not appear to have an active internet connection or is being blocked by a firewall. I have uninstalled my MacAfee firewall and disabled my windows firewall and it still won't connect. And I'm pretty damn sure I have internet...(Here I am)I think it has something to do with Vista because it worked on my Windows XP perfectly, I never had a single problem. I've tried every single thing that has been suggested to me by fellow members that have created a temporary fix of about 10 minutes of precious Limewire time but that is all.>>>

All I want more than this new computer is Limewire to work wit it...mouth watering...
