Upon testing, it turns out that fix did not work after all. It probably worked on File_Girl's computer because she had some kind of extra support software, but all my testing over many months showed it did not work after all. When it was installed it would install a connection file from late 2010, then when LW opened, LW would immediately delete the connection file which suggests it definitely did not work. Nor did it appear to do what it was designed to do. There had been some doubts a couple of years ago it worked as it was supposed to. I only started to test it out in more recent times.
Just the Windows LPE Connection Fix alone there's about 100 downloads per day. I would imagine if more people used LimeStart this number will probably drop. BTW the connection fix should be good enough to use for several months, perhaps half a year or up to a year. The file it installs is dated many years in advance and there are many reliable hosts on the list whom are permanent network users.

Good to hear you got your connection back.
