thanks for the links for the old versions. I had no problem with my router or anything else until upgrading to the latest version of Limewire available, 3.8.10 i think. I upgraded last week (setting up a new computer, new model Powerbook, 1Ghz,768 RAM, OSX v.10.3.3). I did not have problems immediately. LW worked perfectly for several days. Then, suddenly this problem developed where LW would not connect and following trying to launch LW, i was not able to use any internet functions until i reset my Airport through the software control panel.

To test the problem, i tried to launch LW while connected to the internet directly through the dial up modem, no router, no cable, no Airport, just a direct regular dial up connection. The same problem happened, and after that, i could not resume normal internet functioning until after removing LW icon from the dock. Just rebooting did not restore normal functioning.

The older versions of LW worked flawlessly with my systems.
