Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

 absolutely no luck with connecting limewire hey guys, just posting this msg as I'm at the end of my tether, I've tried absolutely everything to get limewire connected and absolutely nothing is working. I have used limewire in the past and it's been fine but I've recently moved to a new ISP called "Be", I started using limewire with this new ISP on friday and it was working fine for about an hour then there was only one green bar at the bottom, since then I have not been able to get a connection with limewire whatsoever apart from one bar which is useless. There have been some occassional times where it has gone up to three bars but this is still useless as I cant get any search results or download anything. I've basically tried everything from port forwarding to checking if my router is UPnP enabled to changing the port on the advanced section of LW section and absolutely nothing is working. Anyway heres all my settings, really hope someone can help me out, thanks  1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall Only 3. How much ram? 256 4. Hard Disk space available? 11.9GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Speedtouch 780 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Limewire 4.12.6 & Java 1.5.0_09 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Be Internet 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It says 'your test worked' 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes sharing with two other computers on a router 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. A new problem with an experienced user 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Sometimes its there, sometimes it isnt  |

| You might want to check with your new ISP and see if they shape or throttle p2p...It could be a matter of certain times of the day...

| Have you enable UPnP ?? Also try changing your listening port to something between 49152 - 65535.. Make sure the two of you are using different listening ports.. Did you both Port Forward ?? If so did you both use separate static IPs Let us know how that goes...

| the UPnP is enabled, i've changed the listening ports and they're both different, i've done port forwarding and everything else that has been suggested, i had a full five bars for a couple of hours yesterday but today i logged on and only got three bars, and that gradually dropped to one bar and now i've lost the connection, I dont understand why there is so much inconsistency in the connection, has anyone got any drastic measures? |

| Here's the user guide for your router http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/documentation/ST780WL/R610/UserGuide/HTML/SIP/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?single=false&context=ug&topic=init Just from having a quick look, it seems very similar to this one listed on the port forward site http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Thomson-Alcatel/SpeedTouch536/Limewire.htm Have a look through & compare them...if things look the same, you could follow the instructions for the SpeedTouch536. Don't forget to set up a static IP address first. You'll find a link for that within the portforward instructions. |
