if limewire is open it could be the cause to your disconnecting, its corrects problem for my dsl aswell so i dont use it anymore

its a peer to peer file shareing software, let people download music for free of other people computer is the main use for it

do you have kids?
i bet you do and they are teenagers

do you have a good anti virus software? you'll need if you dont

And anti-spyware.

AVG is good antivirus.
Adaware or Spybot for spyware.

You can download them from www.shareware.com

as with all things online, limewire can be a source of filth too. Make sure you are on top of parental controls!

yea but shes a 13 year old girl is she really going to be looking up those sorts of things? or am i just being naive?

ha ha ha kids!

I love lime wire, I'm at about 8 gigs worth of music downloaded. A fab site, my sister told me about it. Had to get a new I-pod as my old one is now to small!

Try it out...

if i was a parent id be more worried about myspace than limewire, but it never hurts to be paranoid!
