oh i'm sorry! i meant i'm having trouble from 2 different locations.
workplace: and yes, there's a brick wall in front of the blue globe.. my isp is singnet, as for the router, i really don't know because the internet here is sort of wireless.. the whole building's connected.
home: i deleted limewire from the home computer already. my dad complained it was taking up too much space.

i'm obviously not very good at computers. sorry.

Hi thedimholtroad,
That's ok, don't worry about it:)

You should ask your employer what their policy is on p2p use...lots of employers won't let employees use p2p at work. If it turns out that it's ok for you to use LW at work, you'll have to find out what firewalls are in place there. Talk to whoever's in charge of the building's internet.

But please do ask whether it's ok for you to use LW at work...or you could find youreslf in all kinds of trouble;)

Hi chuntzy,
I've had a look at the site. I can't find out whether they're offering basic LW or Pro, as I'm not going to pay $34.95 to get more info.

In my opinion...yes, they are ripping you off. If you recieve LW basic, you're paying for a product that's free. If you recieve LW Pro, you're paying more that you should for the product. The extra software offered is quite possibly freeware also...it's impossible to tell without becoming a member.
In the FAQ, they kind of address this
Quote:

I thought the software was free. Why am I being asked to pay?
You are paying for The Membership, The Tutorials, unlimited technical support and so we can run the website. We do not charge you for any of the software you receive.

I wonder why they aren't telling people up front exactly what software they're getting. Which iPod converter (there are a few free ones)? Which Antivirus (there are loads of good free ones)? And so on. If it were me, I'd want to know what I was getting first...then decide whether I wanted to pay for tutorials (which are most likely to be found with a Google search anyway) & email tech support.

We always advise people to download LW from the official site only, for their own protection. To make sure they're getting a clean version & not being charged for a free product, or being overcharged for Pro.

In the end though, of course, it's your choice whether you go with a scam site or the official site.
