Everytime I have Limewire open for a few minutes or so, my internet disconnects . I've tried a ton of stuff suggested on the forum, but it's not working out. I'm running on Windows XP Media Center Edition and I have McAfee Virus Scan/firewall stuff. If anyone has any ideas for why this might be happening please let me know. Thanks a ton in advance.

Is your XP firewall turned on? If yes, then with McAffee firewall you don't need it & should disable XP's firewall.

I presume you have win xp sp2, so you might want to consider a sp2 patch; MS & 3rd party patches

Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

yes, i do see that brick wall

also how do i disable XP's firewall?

There's 2 methods depending upon your setup; see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...620#post178620 or this one http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...842#post178842
