No Connection
 

I ran the telnet test, it's fine. Did the beta it's fine...receiving no error messages. But I still cannot connect even though my internet connection is fine...suggestions?

am having serious problems connecting...have run the telnet test and Gnutella is ok, am connected to morpheus fine but cannot connect with ver2.6.3....what do you suggest....i have a cable connection which is up all the time...should have no problem...any thoughts?

Same Thing
 

I downloaded the newest version of limewire and it's not connecting. I click connect, the green button goes on right away, but I am not connected. Once in a while I connect for about 10 seconds but I can't get any search results. What's happening? I used to be fine with Limewire 3 months ago. What has happened? Tell me so I don't have to wonder!

im have the exact same problems as above, and i dont understand why no one is even bothering to address this issue, how the hell do you guys expect me to pay for this when it dosent even connect, and you dont even bother taking some time to see why a large number of users are having this problem???

No connection
 

Same problem. Had no problems until I received a message the other day that a new version (2.6.3) was available. I downloaded it and haven't been able to open Limewire since. I agree with the person who remarked that you can't expect us to eventually pay for this service when it doesn't work - and I don't see a solution being offered.

Your problem is probably the new automatic lamer detection.

So long, losers!

Try this utility to find other Gnutella clients:

Get on, BABY...
 

Listen up. Just DOWNLOAD an earlier version of Limewire. I suggest ver. 2.4.4 You can find it with a Google search. 2.6 and also 2.5 exhibit the same symptoms as people have specified above (in this thread) but 2.4.4 works a TREAT!!!

I'm on a MAC, by the way.

where to download limewire 2.4.4?
 

having the same problems as above in mac os x and classic.
did google search for limewire 2.4.4 ....links all lead to newer
version...couldn't find 2.4.4.

My LimeWire Gone CRaZZy
 

Limewire doesent connect anymore WHY ????? i hate this =))

Yes, a lot of the search sites are now updated/linked to Limewire 2.6, even though the Google index thinks it's taking you to 2.4.

Without having the exact link handy, all I can say is that I experienced the exact same problem, persevered for about 60 more seconds with my search criteria and FOUND Limewire 2.4.4. And it WORKS fine where 2.5 and 2.6 fail to connect.

Keep looking. It's there.

what in the world!?
 

what happened all versions of limewire "have encountered an internal error" plz help!!

official resutls
 

Just to let everyone know the results of all the advices given so far is- nothing works!

my case:
I use Mac G4, powerbook. I'm on a college campus, Limewire used to work fine, like all you people, it stoped working about a few months ago. I did the telnet test, it's fine, so that's kinda weird. My limewire shows "disconnected " at the top. I download 2.4.4, it still doens't work. Sorry Savior, you ain't savin' nobody. I went to that link that's supposed to update limewire, but it's an .exe

I tried this webiste that had another Gnu client, Phex. But it's only for OS X.

So, these Limewire people better get on it!!! I tried everything it the FAQ and this forum. Getting angery here.




ps. I suspect someething's up with this port 6346 thing, but I don't know how to change it to something else.

Re: No Connection
 

Every time I log on to limewire this message pops up and says, "Could not find a port of use for incoming connections. please specify a port from the configuration window." I can't download music. What do I do???¿¿¿

telnet problems
 

Whata should I do If the telnet test Fails? It Says "Unable to stablish a connection" What the hell am I suppsued to do? I also have Mac Os9 and OS X LimeWire's but they doesn't connect and I don't know where to do the telnet test in the Macs :mad:

new address of the connection utillity (new version is available!!)

Hi,
I'll describe this proggy:

It's only an executable file, so you don't have to uninstall. You can delete it if you want. No new registry keys. You start the program when you need it.


Many people (like me) have the problem that limewire can't connect.
This program searches for other Gnutella clients and gives you the IP and Port of them, after they where verified, so you can connect with Limewire.
After you have connected the first time with Limewire you probably won't need to use this program again, because Limewire can now connect. If not you can use the program to find a new connection.

It's 100% virus free! There is my address on my homepage! I have many customer buying my stuff ! When I would give them bad programms or tool they would not buy it! I give away this tool for free. If you don't like it you don't have to use it. If there were any problems people would post it to the forum or send me an email but noone did.

Probably I'll put the sourcecodes on my homepage one day than you can see how it works.

It's working and easy! All my friend are using this program to connect with Limewire. I only want to help!

http://delphi.mediaceta.net

I'm having the same problem.. what sort of **** is this.. I even paid for the pro version.

Only for P.C
 

Sorry guys, but this program is only for P.C and as I there are many Mac Users that cannot connect with Limewire either. So, if any of you guys can help us, pletase let us know. Post a Reply please, or you can send me a mail to:
metaldalz@cantv.net

can anybody tell me where i can find a GOOD place to download music from? Preferably one that connects.

I am a programmer...

There is absolutely no need for an EXE to be registered in the registry. It is easy to create a program that is stand-alone, Can be run or not, Can be deleted without affecting any other part of the computer or living traces and residue.

Your skeptisism is misplaced here.

The fact that every program you have installed has registered itself is due to your choice of program - I have used (and created) a great many programs that do not register themselves [it is actually easier to create a non-registering program than one that registers itself].

Mark

I agree to Treatid! He is right!!!

Here is the sourcecode of the tool. Show me the line that adds something to the registry and you've won $1000!!!

Small utilities don't neen new entries in the registry if they don't have options which must be saved. And a programmer can choose how he wants to save the options! The registry or a file.
Did you see any options which I could save?

Public service announcement - Do not take the following seriously...

To the person who viciously demeaned and humiliated me with the savage words, something to the effect of, (sniff, sniffle) "You ain't savin' anyone" (Your Saviour)... well, I... I... I saved myself. (Baby.) Okay, so you're uptight, your powerbook or power Mac or power tools ain't connecting to Limewire, I suggest I haven't saved YOU, but others, (literally thousands) have personally contacted me, sent money and gifts, bathed me and fed me grapes. Make that millions. Trillions. While you are questioning your faith, and hacking down (false) idols... I continue to download 440,000 songs a minute. I am playing said songs on multiple surround speakers, simultaneously. However, I am a humble man, humble saviour (small 's' saviour) and I stand defeated by my inept attempt to help you...

Since the source is open you can use whatever method is being used there to connect on any platform.

@efield: PostMessage is a Windows specific function. It won't run on Mac or Linux.

Mac Users
 

Is there anything for Mac Users to do? I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of Mac users like that our Limewire doesn't connect. What can we do?:confused:

I don't have a Mac and I don't know how to write programs for it. The only thing you can do is: contact the developers of Limewire and tell them to add proxy support to the GWebCache routines.

Same for me. I get no error messages and no connection attempts to my firewall. I'm on a DSL line and I can use other things just fine. Kazaa works fine, for example. What gives?

Try this
 

If you're using Windows, open the windows explorer window, open the Windows folder and go to recently dowloaded programs, search for the latest program for IE (Internet Explorer) Try to find a program that has benn downloaded arround the time thata your Limewire started to give you problems, and Delete it, in my case was a program named "IE Dial Fast" Or something like that, I erased it and my Limewire is working again. And If you're using mac, try to find this file in the Internet Explorer Folder.
I hope that this advice help you with your Limewire.;)

@bpmax: I'm the unreg user.
I can explain why the program can help people when LW worked in older versions and doesn't work anymore.

if the test described on limewire.com works and you cannot connect with LW
(http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/faqs#sta1)
or if LW connected in earlier versions than you can use this utility
(in most cases this means that you must use a proxy server, which is a firewall problem)

In earlier versions LW used hostcaches to find the initial connection but now they are closed. Now LW uses GWebCaches, which are normal PHP scripts. If you must use a proxy server to surf the web you also must use a proxy server to connect to a GWebCache. And LW doesn't have a option to set the proxy server. That's why LW can't find a connection. My utility uses the proxy server that is used by IE 3.0+.

The utility works for all people who:
-must to use a proxy server to surf the web
-have IE 3.0 or higher (and it's working)
-the test described on www.limewire.com works
-have a windows OS
(-LW can't connect)

Now THAT's information. Thanks.

HELP
 

OS 9 LimeWire's doesn't connect d I don't know where to do the telnet test in the Macs :mad: I am sure that this can be solved without going back to 2.4.4 cause this worked last week. If someone finds a solution help me.

Re: Get on, BABY...
 

Im on a new mac also. I'm having problems because macs are the biggest pieces of **** on the planet. Macs simply suck. I'm throwing this thing away

2.4.4 version gets you back into Limewire
 

Just wanna thank "Your Saviour" for the tip, I get the 2.4.4 version on http://www.ircee.com/p2p/limewire.htm, and it works. In this site you can also find Mac OS X 2.4.4 version.
