Hey everyone... I know.. flame me about starting another topic about the connection problems that everyone is having with limewire... anyway....

I have limewire beta that was just released sence I thought I would help out and beta test... anyway..

I install the program, upgraded my java, and started it. It trys to connect after I have clicked connect and it doesnt. I have changed the port it uses, and that doesnt work. I changed it several times also. My ISP doesnt block any ports so I know they all work.

I tried the suggested things here in these forums, by deleted the .limewire folder, tried the .jar file that was posted, and may other solutions.

I dont have nortan or any blocking firewall other then my router. I edited the router table to forward the port to my computer so I could connect. (I know what Im doing so I know I didnt mess up with that)

I tried that with other ports as well... Still nothing...

I can connect every once in a while to 1 connection with a poor status. And if I close the program and start it again and click connect, I cant connect...

No clue whats going on with this.. but I think it is a software problem and not the peopls computers.

I have used: WinMX, BearShare, Kazaa, Kazaalite, and a few other downloaders such as: Bittorrent, and a few others and they all worked perfectly fine...

Whats going on??



EDIT** After messing with Limewire, I have noticed that 1 network works and I get a poor connection, still not all the time though. I think its the connection with limewire though. Watching the connections tryin to connect they flicker from Connecting... to Outgoing like they are actually connected, but then disappear...

I think that its a problem with the program and not the users computer... not sure though.
