![]() You can't stuff anything up by deleting the preferences ![]() What model's your Netgear? How do you have it set up (is UPnP enabled, are you port forwarding)? If you're port forwarding, maybe set it up again (see Grandpa's post here for why) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...068#post208068 Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of blue earth)? Did the port test work? http://www3.limewire.com:6346 Have you tried using any other p2p apps? What's the name of your ISP? Even if they're a small local company, might be some info around about them. |

![]() ok, I did the delete the preferences thing, I looked at the connections link, nothing seemed to apply. so I completely uninstalled the program, losing all my libraries, and reinstalled....well it still WILL NOT connect. ![]() hmmmmmmmmmmmmph. |

![]() Can you give us a total description 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? 13. Try downlding a magnet link & explain what happens re: connection & speed; http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml 14. Go ro LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & check the options such as both connection & listening port. What are they? |
