Temp Connection Problem Fix: Connect to 208.239.76.100
 

One of our machines is down. Enable View -> Connections, go to the Connections tab and type in 208.239.76.100. Click add.

If you have the latest version 2.5.5 you should never have these problems again after connecting once and cleanly shutting down after a while.

Thanks

--------------------------------------------

worked like a charm. thanks

Thanks a lot gbildson, this worked for me

Thanks for the hint
 

Can you tell us the reason for this problem?

Worked once in a running OSX but there were "0 files available" then stopped connecting, havent been able to get it to re connect since.

Thanks greg :)

I connected to limewire for a few seconds but it didn't say I was connected and I haven't been able to connect since. Why might I be having this problem? (I have a Mac OS 8.6)

Excellent. Thanks for the help. I'm back in the game again !

thanks Greg - you saved the day!

nope
 

Sorry, this tip didn't work on my mac using 10.2.

I'm running a backup pong cache but it can't perfectly handle the load. If you try to connect once a minute for a while, it should work eventually.

If people on the network with fairly stable ips list them here, that can help others.

Thanks

I still cannot connect
 

I have spoken with my ISP and they claim they dont block it. I know of users with the same ISP that still use limewire fine. I upgraded to 2.5.5.
I have tried this fix. I still cannot connect!

Help me please!

I love you

Useful info
 

Adding this address worked well, I was wondering simply why Limewire just stopped working. As the other person had mentioned, downloading the new version did not allow access. But, I'm happy, this worked.

Thanks for the info!
 

I was having trouble connecting yesterday and gave up. I decided to look around today and see if anyone else was having trouble too. I'm glad to see it wasn't me. Thanks for the info and I'll try it in a little while!

Still not working
 

I just bought pro today and I am pretty mad that it isn't working. I tried putting the connection in manually like you said and still no postive results. I am currently runnin Mac OSX 10.2 Jaguar.

connected...BUT
 

Tried your suggestion...it worked GREAT...uh, accept for one thing. Every search comes up empty...zilch...zero...el-big zero. any clues why?

router fix
 

Excellent work on the speedy fix of the router pblm. And on a holiday weekend!
You guys are the best!

thanks!!
 

there aren't many files available but at least i'm up. thanks!

Not connected
 

I tried the address given, it worked for about 10 seconds then went back to disconnected. I have three computers on my home wireless network, 2 macs and 1 pc. Only one of the macs is having this problem. This is also a problem that has just occured, it worked great before. Help!

dont work
 

sorry, but 208.239.76.100. was added and it didnt work yet.

do you have any other suggestions? fryday it worked, but today not.

Using LimeWire 2.5.5 and OsX 10.2
 

Re: Temp Connection Problem Fix: Connect to 208.239.76.100
 

worked a treat.

THANKS!!

can connect
 

Limewire is back up for me. I uninstalled Limewire 2.5.5 and then downloaded it again. I also use the address that was posted. Now I get plenty of files during a search and it has been staying up. I use a B & W G3 with Jaguar 10.2.

connection problems
 

I acquired Limewire Pro this morning and loaded it on both OSX and OS9.2 systems in my new Mac G4. I could not connect through either.

I tried the suggested fix. It worked very briefly - then stopped.

Is the problem in our software - or at Gnutella?

Thanks!
 

Thanks! Now everything is up and running on LimewirePro. You saved my Labor Day!

TRY USING 208.239.76.100 WITHOUT A DOT AT THE END, BUT I STILL HAVE ONLY 1 FILE AND 3MB AVAILABLE, COULD IT BE THE FEDS ARE BACK IN TOWN???

Well the connect part worked...but no matter what I search for it comes up empty.

what do i do after i add 208.239.76.100? if i quit and start up again it isnt there anymore.

If you get the new client well connected once, these problems shouldn't happen again. The newer client does a great job of building up connection points on the network that will be there the next time you connect.

My backup router (pong cache) went down over night but is back up. It is not as efficient as our main one so needs some connection retries occasionally.

Thanks

good god greg i love you

I'm trying to connect to limewire on my iBook out of my college's network. Every tech guy i've talked to has insisted that they are blocking nothing. I've added the address you specified and so far i've gotten nothing. I'm running 2.5.5 on mac OS 10.2. This is a huge pain in the ***. If somebody could suggest an alternative or a solution i would be greatly appreciative. Anyone with a working knowledge of big networks out there, please help!

Network problems
 

Greg, thanks for the info. Worked great; the help is greatly appreciated.

Worked on Mac OS 9.2
 

To the person who was having problems on a Mac: I used the tip and at first I connected & then I was disconnect but on shutting down and starting up LimeWire again the tip worked well!

Why a gnutella user needs a server???
 

208.239.76.100 is the solution cause your router is down...
ok
why limewire pro needs a router to work...
i'm a beginner but i was thinkin about the GNUtella xperience as DIFFERENT from napster-like server dependence..
so if it's so
what happen to limewire?

If an alien invasion destroy half world we would save the other half sharing the notices using LIMEWIRE PRO!..

But ...how save The world if 208.239.76.100 is down ???




..

Really kidding

Spock.

Sorry!
I just registered and installed last version on Mac 9.1.
Still disconnected/No files available after following your advise.
Next????

No connections with 2.5.5
 

Your fix worked just fine. Thanks very much.

Our dependence on any type of (even temporary) central connection will disappear shortly. Note that even now, you only need to get a hint at a good connection to the network once and then you are good from then on.

Thanks
-greg

thanks for posting that fix,gb.

still wont connect
 

When i try to add 208.239.76.100 it won't add. I'm running 10.2 and I wondered if that could be part of the problem.

KP

it works
 

yes thank you it works for me...
but there seem to be hardly anyone else connected right now....

208.239.76.100....... not a working address
 

I followed the instructions and added this address to my 'connection' list and it would connect for about 3 seconds then drop.

windows 2k sp3, LW 2.5.5

You're the best!
 

Thanks SOOOOOOO much thats awsome guy!!!

Maybe I should have sent my $10 to Greg! Thanks....

you're the man!!!
 

thanks a bunch. it worked like a charm

I tryed adding 208.239.76.100 but it just flashes on then off once quickly. it seems as if it's trying to connect but i won't because i can't connect in the first place. what did the people that got theirs connected do differently than what i did? any held would be greatly appreciated.


KP

YESSSSSSSS!!!
 

oh my gosh. me and ma bro got kinda annoyed when it didn't work. then i got REALLY ticked when i spent 3 hours trying to find P2P that would actually connect. no luck. THANK YOU!!!!! IT WORKED!!!!!!

I just upgraded to 2.5.5, and it won't log on. I can't do the connection fix, as that tab isn't even available for me in the window, and it is greyed out in the menu. I am hesitant to upgrade to the Pro version if I am gonna have the same problems. I did just upgrade to OS X 10.2, so I am not sure if that might be causing the problem. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanx!!!
 

Hooray!!! It worked....Thanx alot, Greg! (I hope it takes and stays!)

connections of course
 

it's still a mess with me in paris... the connections don't stay active... this pro version is absolutely useless up until now:mad:
