But you said you had a D-Link. What did you mean by D-Link?
The brand & model no. will be on the device somewhere. Have a look at it.

the pole is a few metres up on the roof and I can't get there.

Is it a wireless service or something. I can't quite work out why your modem would be on the roof.

It is wireless internet. My Modem on roof is point to Line Of Site Signal a distance away. I have a cable running from the roof to my PC Network Card.

Im confused GRRR

9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

zarenya: But, you'll need to uninstall your previous LW version 1st before installing this one. Go to start menu > Programs > LW > uninstall.

Also, before installing, you MUST delete your LW preferences; Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

There's a space in the link I gave you. You'll need to remove the space. I can't post it here for obvious reasons.
