Connection issues

[sir_andy99]

When I first connect to Limewire I get a connection almost immediately. But within 10 minutes the connection goes from excellent to disconnected. I am using A&T Worldnet dialup internet access but I should be able to keep a connection to the network if I am connected to the net. I am also behing Windows XP Firewall but have configured all of the necessary ports. Please help.

Firewall configuration to allow LW full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Just to be sure.

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If False then you have something like a firewall or router partially blocking LW.

Some tips:

* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.

* Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality & even drop your modem connection in extreme cases. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.
