the only thing ive changed is my router


ok, so ive used limewire and frostwire for years and never had this problem. when i open up FW it connects like normal, but when i search for something, i get very few results and they are almost always wma's. but when i close and reopen FW, it almost always works right, but only for a few minuets (like ten), then it stops finding music.

it happened after i upgraded FW, so i uninstalled, reinstalled, didnt work. i tried moving down to an older version (the one i have now) and it still doesnt work. i downloaded LW, and i get the same problem.

ive read these forums up and down and couldnt find a fix. i downloaded the list of "hostile hosts" and that wasnt the problem either.

i think its my router, but idk what to do about it.
