Carey, I do have Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security
Technologies. I went to the Limewire Support site as you suggested and they
recommended that I add Gnutella as an exception to my firewall, which I did,

had no disconnection problem while using Limewire and was happy that the
problem was resolved. The next day, however, I started getting the same
error message.
