I tried that bug report thing and it says that I am false. I am on a max osx, where do I go from here? I swear it looks like I enabled my firewall to limewire. Thanks alot

I can't understand why you keep creating new threads when we were discussing this issue in an earlier thread. See this: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml You may have OSX setup as a firewall (by default it's turned off), but more likely you have a router or other firewall. You need to tell us.

Sorry, I'm new to this forum, I think I was hitting new thread instead of post reply. I have seen the mac help page for disabling firewall and have run through it several times. I am still getting a "false" in my bug report. What else can I do to make sure it is disabled. When I click connect, it tries for like five minutes, then says disconnected. Thank you.

It sounds as though there's a firewall/router b/w your comp & the net. Is your comp connected directly or are you going thru a network? Do you have a router? Have you checked with your ip supplier whether they block p2p apps?

I am connected through what I assume is a network because it it through a college dorm. I do not know computers very well, so I don't really know what to tell you about the rest. I'm not sure what a router is.

That is potentially a major problem. More than likely there will be a firewall on the network. You may need to force your way thru the firewall/try another port. There's several threads that've discussed this issue. Do a search for dorm or dormitory or college or school or firewall on the forum. A router allows several comps to connect to the net simultaneously. They generally have a firewall fx.

hi there

I'm getting the same bug report. i'm connected at home via a wireless broadband connection. could that be the problem?

thanks for your help

Can you supply some more details about your comp specifics, os version, & whether you have any firewall/router, etc. I guess it depends on where this block is coming from - but we 1st need to know as many details as possible.

windows xp, windows firewall disabled, NIS firewall set to permit all traffic from javaw.exe, running a wireless broadband connection from Wanadoo in the UK. can access the internet via this connection.

it keeps on asking me which dial-up connection i want to use, and the only modem in the settings pop-up is the dial-up modem.##do i need to point limewire to the wireless modem, and if so, how do i do it?

thanks for any help you can provide!!

I appologise I'm not the best person to answer this issue. However, since you're a Wanadoo user, you might want to do a search for Wanadoo to pick up on some points. Hopefully someone else with better connection knowledge will save the day!
