 Firewall or Loopback connection on local machine??? HELP! I was using limewire with no problem whatsoever. I formatted my PC and installed more or less the same softwares, Now once i click on the Limwire shortcut, after a few second, i get a message that says: Limewire can not connect to the internet, this may be due to a firewall program or loopback connection on the local system!!! The thing is, i have disabled all my firewalls, and i have internet connection! It's really frustrating i can't find the problem with limewire, as other P2P softwares are working... If u know the problem or know how to fix it, please let me know... Thanks for your help A  |

| 1. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.) If that doesn't work then see below. 2. Follow thru the steps here Connection problems? Check here first! |

 Thanx for ur quick response Lord of the Rings... But, I have checked both of those... My problem is limewire is not opening at all, I just see the intro interface and then the message that says that somethine is blocking or something is wrong... And i am almost sure that i have tried everything... I need a solution for this exact message: "Limewire was unable to to initialize and start. This is usally due to a firewall program blocking limewire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local system. Please allow Limewire access to the internet and restart Limewire." HELP  A |

| In the other link I gave, 1st the idea is to ensure you're already properly set up. eg: make sure your firewall is configured to allow Limewire total access & is not being blocked. If you have 2 firewalls, then disable one. Make sure UPnP is enabled on your modem/router. If you are properly set up, then try uninstalling both Java & LW & reinstalling both using the "Offline" installers of each. Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 12. 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? These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. |

| Are you sure Norton is only an anti-virus? Is there no firewall also? Check the options. I can't find much in english about your modem/router. It's all in german when I googled it.  I think your modem is the official one of T-Com.Does your modem have UPnP abilities? This was one of the few links in english which doesn't mean much. |

| I suspect your router is the problem. Log into it be typing this in your browser http://192.168.2.1 & check your options. See if you can find UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) anywhere in the settings. It might be in the advanced settings at a guess. If you can find it, enable it, save settings, reboot router if necessary, then reopen LW. If your router doesn't have UPnP abilities, then you'll probably need to manually port forward. The steps are 1. Set up a Static ip (very important), 2. Forward a port (LW uses port 6346 by default), instructions to step 1 & 2 here Port forward instructions for your modem (click on link) Don't forget to save settings & reboot device if necessary. Step 3 is within LW, follow these directions Manual port forward instructions & sample image ReOpen LW after you have done this. |

 tried everything posted but still have same problem I have the same problem. LW was working fine on my laptop until few days ago and now I get that same message. I have done all the fixes posted and nothing has worked. I have uninstalled and reinstalled LW and still get same message. I am on laptop with Motorola wireless card. We have desktop with roadrunner broadband with LW on it and works great on that pc. What possibly could have caused this to happen all of a sudden? Like I said was working fine until few days ago.  |
