"all' wireless devices use internal NAT firewalls. So you have a choice of port forwarding or using UPnP if your device supports it.

I find your statement confusing ... 2 isp's in the one household ... yet your sister 'can' connect on same computer but "you" can't. Are you taking us for a "ride" or what. In question 11 your answer was "no" but now you're saying yes. So which is it? I'm not sure I can be bothered with being stuffed around like this. Good luck in your endeavours anyway. Go to another forum & kid them around & stop frigging us around with time-wasting rot. Or otherwise top lying to us. I'm delisting myself from my subscription to this thread anyway. I've got better things to do!

i JUST DONT UNDERSTAND THIS

I for one wouldn't be surprised if its:

1) a specific virus to kill LW/FW programs

2) the result of not using a firewall and having been 'exploited' by the MAFIAA

i think my bro might be wireless
he went lime basic fixed odd he might need live w lime

Hi Cootmaster, I recognise you from the FrostWire forums. I received this personal message from Birdy:
"There's this explanation for the flood of FW connection problems over the last week or so:
http://www.frostwire.com/forum/viewt...hp?p=3147#3147

I don't get it though...if the FW host cache is 'stale' fair enough but I don't understand how it can go stale. The host cache gives out IPs, I presume from any Gnutella client...is this a finite list of IPs (ie not changing as new ultrapeers are found day by day)?
If it's a problem because of FW not releasing a new version for so long, how can people still run ancient LW versions successfully? I see really old (4.0.8) LWs around all the time. And ... my FW ... but it still connects as well as ever... "

So I'm not sure myself, this could be so. I would have thought that being the case that a simple deletion of FW prefs folder should fix the situation but it hasn't.

I'm sure FW probably isn't too far from bringing out a new beta but I haven't heard any feedback in that regard.

In the meantime, if you're brave, yes but why not try out the LW beta http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml which has some very nice improvements. A summarised description of changes can be seen here http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml

After all, both the LW & FW devs are good mates so to speak & so should the communities. We try to support each other.

Edit: wow I am slow posting ... 2 posts have gone by before I finished my post. lmao

Double-edit: all 3 versions of my FrostWire connect nicely. I just double-checked.

i seen this w ARES
im a moderator there and it run fine for weeks then everyone complains
the fw version might be out dated i told him switch to lime basic for awhile
i bet it fix when lw 4 12 comes out
mine runs fine

ya the forum threads need cleaning up everyone posts in every area

ditto here...my version of FW works just fine, and I rarely use it (which to me means that I should have had a harder time than I did in getting connected...)

either these flood of posts re: not being able to connect are fake, or there is something else going on that is unrelated to the programs general operation

It is odd isn't it. I was thinking the same thing yesterday it was odd with the sudden influx of FW connection issues. Last night I re-installed LW 4.0.10 on Mac OS 9 & it connected fine. I also tried 4.0.8 without problems. Both downloaded & uploaded files happily. Though I did get the odd internal error.

I fired up LW 4.8.1 basic & had an excellent connection within a minute. I haven't used that dinosaur for so long...
Remember how things used to look???

Likewise last night I didn't post any connection or download snaps though I did take some, but I did post about installing LW 4.0.x http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...70&postcount=5. I was happily downloading with LW 4.0 last night.

So why just some FW users having problems all of a sudden?

I just fired up FW 4.9.34 Beta too, excellent connection right off.
That thing hasn't been used for well over 6 months.

I'm running the same version of FW 4.10 that I've had on my machine since it was released...but I have as of yet to update to either IE7 or FireFox 2.x (waiting for the bugs to be hammered out before I take those leaps)

Been over at Norbie's getting rid of the nightmare codec, he suggested the update to 2.0 so I did.
