I found this page for XP. Scroll down to Step 7 - Tweaks which can help to speed up your computer: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/OptimizeXP.html

I am having the same problem but i am not at a school i am using my personal computer at my house

Hi interstate102688: Open LW & leave on for several minutes, then see what it's doing. Go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Bug Report & press the View example button. Follow the instructions on the following link & report back whether your result is True or False. Click this link for sample of what you need to do

I've had LW on for about 30Min and It says it's False

My apologies but the answer to this issue is a little technical. You said you are connecting from home. Can you tell me what Firewalls, modem brand & model, & Operating System (OS) version you have.

i have Norton Personal firewall on a windows XP.
Which modem do you need?

lol how many do you have connected to your system? Give us the brand name & model of each device that's connected between your computer & the net.
For your Firewall(s) you'll need to allow LW access thru it so for instructions go to: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml & you'll see a link for Norton at the bottom of the page. Windows XP you'll also need to set it up as the guidelines suggest in order to allow both Java & Limewire (LW) access.

I have a Westell model 327W
I followed all the instructions and both LW and Java are unblocked

Do the sample Bug Report thingy again & tell me if it still says false? Is this the only net device connected?

hey,
