Please Help
Since loading the new version of Lime Wire 4.18.6 (Java 1.6.0_04) on my new laptp I cant seem to get more than 1 green bar.

17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? Just changed the laptop, used to get no problem with my old lap top

If none of them help, you might want to try Port Forwarding your modem/router...These are your instructions....

Port Forwarding for the Siemens GigasetSE587

Also Tiscali maybe contributing to your slow download speed...
