Lightbulb Solution To All Connection Problems!!

Well for like 6 months i been going to school and there was no connection!

I have tried every port - every program and nothing. I Have done the clear pref files clear my computer - upgraded all of that and nothing ever worked

Symptoms!
- Computer didnt have a connection
- Connects Then Disconnects
Etc.

When i finally decided to pick a port that i havent tried *00* which is my schools network proxy.

see when i connect to the internet from my school they use this proxy and it allows me to surf the web.

At first i thought that my school had blocked the port 6436 or something but that was no the case. Limewire couldnt find the internet connection.

So find out what proxy your surfing the web on in your school or at work - put that code in limewire and you should be turbocharged downloading all you favrorite stuff.

hope that workes
Juan
