Very strange. I have a Dial-up modem with AOL internet and my limewire worked just fine. Now that i have moved and I got Comcast Cable modem, my limewire only says connecting and will not find or download any music. I have called Comcast and they say that they do not block anything as people get mad if they do. I would then be left to assume that the issues would be on my end. My friend and I have spent the last hour or so trying to figure out how to fix this problem, but to no avail. i have searched all kinds of threads on here and I cannot figure out what the hell is wrong!!!!!!! ok, my stuff is
1. OS version? WINDOWS XP
2. What firewalls you have? WINDOWS PERSONAL FIREWALL AND NORTON PERSONAL FIREWALL. I have followed all the instructions that i could find to make it so they will let me work but it still does not work.
3. ram? 1 GIG OF RAM
4. HDD space available? NTO SURE, BUT THE COMPUTER IS BRAND NEW. LIEK LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.
5. Connection type? COMCAST CABLE MODEM
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? RCA DIGITAL BROADBAND
7. Where are you trying to connect from HOME
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? I HAVE LIMEWIRE 4.8.1 AND JAVA 1.4.2_01



PS from relatively tech-savvy friend: I have been trying to figure this problem out for her and i am at a loss for what to do. We have seriously tried everything that i can think of. Her internet works great but her limewire will not connectfor some reason. I have set the norton firewall to allow limewire to share, and i think i ser the windows firewall up so it can do it too. I obviously have not dome something right because it still doesn't work. I also have a frield who is a 3rd year networking computer student, so if it is something complicated i can try and get him to help. Also, and the HDD, i am not sure where to look for that, it was a spendy nice computer and i remeember it having quite a lot, she doesn't have a bunch of games or anything like that. thank you for your help!!
