The Same thing Happened to me about a year ago. People kept on telling me that they caught me red handed and that I had to pay some fine. Others told me that My security program might have been blocking Lime wire. At the end, since I have Qwest, I used my IP adress to locate my Modem Configurations. After that I brought down the virus protection down a nudge so Lime wire could Work. To tell you the truth, idk what's wrong with your's, but I hope My story helps.
