LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.

I was aware that Comcast was filtering BitTorrent. However, I recently (late March 2008) read that Comcast was going to stop blocking P2P. Anyway, I downloaded MP3Rocket and it connected first try - no adjustments needed.

There you go.

This may be another issue with LimeWire that is perhaps resolved with specific steps taken to uninstall and then fresh install LW.
(Possibly Java as well.)

1,000s and 1,000s of people are having big problems that appear to be 'fixed' only by the above mentioned steps...

Ok, I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me. When my limewire was NOT connecting, I was always SWITCHING USER when I signed off. DON'T DO THAT. It may be faster, but after I started just LOGGING OFF for awhile, it worked 100% greatly! I hope this works for you guys!
