Hi, just wanted to add my problem to the pile...
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
Windows XP Pro SP2
2. What firewalls you have?
Zonealarm 7
3. How much ram?
1GB
4. Hard Disk space available?
~20GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Netgear Super Wireless ADSL Router DG834GT
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.
LW ver. 4.14.5, Java ver. 1.6.0_02
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
Sky
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?
Test works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
Shared with 3 other computers through the router, none currently connected. No other p2p software running.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
1st try in this house, on this connection. Worked fine with my old (now dead) router and ISP.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
Yes http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342
14.
For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
Pretty much Sky's default settings, no ports forwarded/firewall rules set. Have tried creating an exception for Limewire's port + turning Zonealarm off with no luck. Two weird entries under "UPnP portmap table": UDP, (a number) int. port, (another number) ext port, my (current) network IP address, UDP, (3rd number) int port, (4th number) ext port, to another IP on our network. If you need to know what those ports are, please ask.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
AVG Free
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).
England I'm getting the same message as others, it seems. LW gives me one green bar and is permanently "connecting to the network". I'm (obviously) allowing it access in Zonealarm's program list and I've tried allowing it through my router's firewall too (although that might not be on anyway). I doubt there's a conspiracy with Limewire but it seems weird that I'm getting firewalled without a firewall! If anyone has the time to look my problem, I'd be really grateful!
Thanks!
