Your Problem is Tiscali
Try connecting out of peak times
or type "Tiscali" in LimeWire search & all will be clear.
Peace

Default Use plain XP Firewall

Stuck on "Starting Connection" Booby? Well, I installed a new full AVG 8 suite w/ firewall and could not download a lick anymore after years of successful downloads. Turned off AVG firewall, enabled the XP Pro firewall as replacement, and LimeWire 4.18 worked. After finding this gem, I only ordered the AVG withOUT the firewall for 3 other computers I support. Now all 4 run LimeWire OK. Hope you have similar luck ! ! ! ! Gotta go... got a lot of downloading to do.

thanks a lot!!! i think it is fine at an off peak times but what do you mean by type in tiscali to search, do you mean in the search engine and then it will work or to find a file or something else?? do you think you could explain the tiscali search bit a bit more?
sorry to be dense!
thank you for your help Blades06!!

Hi
I mean, at the top of this page, in blue, Search!!, click on Search, & type Tiscali , that will
bring up all the previous posts that explain what tiscali are doing to P2P [LimeWire traffic].
Make up your own mind what names you want to call them afterwards.
Peace.
