I don't get whats happening here. When I launch Limewire the app stops all incoming and outgoing communication over Airport. Nothing works, not Safari, Mail, Limewire, anything. Connection to the base station remains solid but I have to reboot just to get things back to normal again.

Deleting all Limewire's installed files and reinstalling works but only once. Relaunching the app gets things blocked again. Any theory as to what's happening here? It started after the recent Airport software updates but can't find any setting or reason why the blockage is happening.

I can't answer your question, but I will say that you should get rid of LimeWire right away. Do you trust the makers of the only known OS X spyware? I suggest Poisoned instead.

Latest version. Paid for 6 month license and all. I'm a good boy. Anyway, I found that I should delete all prefs before starting the app. Then it works fine. But I have to do it each time.
