2005 Dimension 5000. WIndows XP/HE. fully updated.  OE 7.0, IE 7.0 5730.11.

LimeWire 4.12.6. (Not PRO)  Java 1.5

 

Last year I successfully downloaded music files from LimeWire.  A recent attempt failed completely to connect.  I am wondering if recent system protection S/W updates (eg, phishing) have altered a significant setting somewhere.

 

Has anyone had a similar connection problem with Limewire?
