4. What ports have you configured for LimeWire? Does the issue exist if you try different ports?
Yes
5. Opening ports in the McAfee Firewall:
tried, when I got help from McAfee they configured as well the Netbios ports in the system service tab of the firewall. It worked *shortly* but with the next connection and start up of limewire my connection got disconnected again.
6. What other solutions / work-arounds have you tried already?
Pretty much everything that someone has suggested here or at other places. No help!!
PS. On
Lime Wire » Support it says
"Many Windows Vista computers that come with McAfee Firewall lose the internet connection when running LimeWire. This is a McAfee bug, not a LimeWire bug. Contact McAfee's support for an updated version of their software."
What do they know that you do not know?
Any help is appreciated!
