 LW says i have firewall on But i really dont, i have never had it on within windows xpSP2 and i only use norton anti 05 with protection worm on. I get the same message as everone else, one bar for strength and then it says i m not conencted to the net. I was able to use LW a few weeks ago no prob. here is my info: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) WindowXP sp2 2. What firewalls you have? XP's version(which is disabled) 3. How much ram? 512 4. Hard Disk space available? 20 gigs 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) cable internet only, no tv option 6. * Modem & router brand name & model numbers? * Linksys BEFCMU10 modem and BEFSR41 for the router. 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) limewire 4.3.37 9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? omnitelcom.com , very small provider in Iowa. 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No only this computer. 11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ Test works fine. Are you sure you don't have any other firewall other than XP firewall? Nope, none that i know of, unless my router/modem has one, but its never been a prob before. Any suggestions? thexrock  |

| 1. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 in Fixes for Limewire (sample at bottom of page.) See if that helps. If not see below. 2. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & make sure UPnP option is ticked!!! Linksys devices use UPnP which allows LW to communicate directly with them to open whichever port is requested. LW is UPnP capable. Also, go to Tools>Options>Speed & tick Disable Ultrapeer Capabilities. Remember to always press the Apply button after any changes. Give LW plenty of time to connect. Leave it for up to 20+ mins to allow it to load properly all the incompletes & shared files & try to connect. |

| Make sure your Linksys devices are set to use UPnP. I'm not sure whether they have a switch which enables this or it's on by default. Within LW, you set it for UPnP not manual port forward. I don't even know what MS Framenetwork is. See if disabling it helps or vice-versa. |

| With some Linksys routers you have to enable the UPnP feature from the online page you can get there by typing 192.168.1.1 you will then have to enter your password if you have never been there before the default password is admin. Once you are there click on administration you will be able to enable UPnP from there.

| I don't know what the story is with Linksys but with my router I need to reboot the router after major changes. It looks like Grandpa's gone for the moment to fill us in on it. |

| No you do not need to reboot with LimeWire open go to tools/ options/advanced/Firewall and see what port you are connecting to. If it is something other than 6346 it is working. If it is 6346 you should probably reboot.
