connecting limewire
 

when i connect to limewire it will be connected for a while when im downloading songs, but when i go back later, say a few minutes even, it is dissconnected. then to connect again i have to completely shut it down and start it again before i can start downloading.
lime wire has never done this in the past and i m wondering what happened, or if ill have to delet it and re-install it again???
:confused:

mmmkay..
well i have all those "requirements"
but i still dont see what the problem with my limewire is.
i am an experienced user and this kind of thing has never happened to me before.

so im guessing i tell you all those things...

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98): windows xp
2. What firewalls you have? fire wall not installed
3. How much ram? no clue
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) dsl
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. lw 4.10.3 java 1.5.0_04
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? internet explorer
10. 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? it said your test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. no
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes

so here.
and i cant find my hard drive space
so sorry about that.

thank you so very much for your help.

im still wondering if maybe i should just update limewire and see if that'll work. but i dont want to have to loose all my songs, so does it completely re-install it?

idk thanks again.

ok so how exactly do i update LW?

No need to uninstall the previous version, LW installer will uninstall the previous version at the very beginning of the installation process.
