Hi --
I use Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Laptop. I have used LimeWire 5 since it came out, and have noticed that even in LimeWire 4, I have to constantly reconnect my Ethernet cable, only when LimeWire is running to stay connected to it and the internet? What is causing this and how can I fix it?

Are you saying the system disconnects only when using Limewire or that it only stays connected when using it? is this a recent problem or has it been like this for a longer time?
