Thank you for your prompt reply, and I sincerely appreciate your attempt to help me. I don't understand why the com[pany won't.

I t does not surpise me that I am confusing something since I have no idea what I am doing, mainly because there is nothing that tells me, and because I have been unable to get the companies to help. What does it mean that LimeWire is a Gnutella "client?" Why can't I log-in and search on LimeWire with my Gnutella username and password if Limewire is a Gnutella client. Why can't I log-on and serach Gnutella using a LimeWire username and password if LimeWire is a Gnutlla. My quest started many months ago and I gave up for a time but recently resumed it. Is there any reason - any advantage to having access to both Gnutella and LimeWire? Should I eliminate - deregister - with one? If so, how?

Thanks.
