Dennis, I have internet access but, certain servers I should say such as lime

is a firewall blocking connection or a loopback in my system. I have tried to
setup my windows firewall but it tells me certain options and being controled
by Group policy and that my windows firewall is off! Does that help? thanks

Default Windows firewall and group policy won't keep you from getting to
the Internet unless you are on a corporate lan. If you are on a
corporate LAN, talk to your IT guys. If its a home machine, let us know
more information so we can help.

To be honest, if you have limewire on the network, I wouldn't trust any
machine on the LAN. Time to nuke 'em and begin again.
