Alright, I removed limewire completely from my machine. I redownloaded it, but have not installed it yet. I tried, but when it was downloading to install, it crashed the DSL, so I haven't tried again yet. I will though.
I don't think it's a SP2 thing, because I haven't had a real serious problem with crashing until I moved to a wireless setup. Like I said, I had a cable modem when I lived in a different place, and it NEVER crashed. No connection problem at all. That's why I'm not so sure it is entirely a limewire thing, but a problem with file sharing applications in general. But, when it comes down to it, I don't know. That's why, with you're help, I hope to learn more and hopefully solve this issue.
So, when I tried to download the magnetic link thing, my browser (firefox) said the protocol was not associated with any program.
I don't think it's a firewall thing, because I've never had any issues before. But, I use Zone Alarms and Nvidia firewalls (plus my Modem hasd one built in - a Westell Versalink 327v), but I didn't have to do any special configurations.
I'm going to try and install LW again.

Just curious but what are the symptoms of the crash you are experiencing. Is LimeWire freezing on install. Are you loosing connection. Are you getting the BSOD ? etc. A detailed description might help figure this out
