I know Windstream couldn't be the problem because I have a friend that lives out in the country also and has Windstream as her provider and can use Limewire!

Not sure if I am dial up of DSL!

I am thinking dial up only becasue the account is under a phone number and connected to the phone line, the only reason I wasn't sure was because we don't have a land line we use, but it has to be dial up, but it runs awfull fast for dial up, or can DSL be through a phone line also.
