Default loose Internet connection after an hour, But still have internet access.

Hello,

I've uploaded the new LW last weekend but for some strange reason I can not hold a connection. Also I have noticed that the amount of connections are low and searches are real slow. Is there a problem with Gnutella that is causing me to loose the connection and the low amount of sources? Please note my details below, Thanks,

1. Running on Windows ME (at home)
2. Comcast Broadband service
3. Motorolla Modem
4. tested http://www3.limewire.com:6346, Worked.
5. Updated Java


Error Message: Internet connection dropped possible firewall issue.

What is your network adaptor and do you have the latest drivers.

OK lets try something a little different. Go to Start/Control Parnell/ Network Connections choose the connection you are using and click on it. It should be local area connection. On the left side of the screen at the bottom it should say details. If you look at the second attachment it says Marvell Yukon that is the Network adapter being used for the connection. What does yours say.
