cannot connect

i just downloaded limewire after paying for a membership to kazza a few days ago. anyway, im assuming my download was of the most current limewire available. when i open the program and try to connect it only connects for a second or two. im running explorer at the time im trying to connect and im using a T1 line here at school. also, im running a g4 powerbook with osX. if anyone could help me out i would be much appreciative. i hope ive provided all the info someone would need to help me out, im not a novice with computers but im not greatly savvy either. thanks. jae.

nkujay,

My guess is your school is blocking Gnutella connections.

Wazzup bro,

I hope this s**t doesnt make me register, cuz so many times I see posts that I wanna reply to but dont wanna take the time to register for.

Anyways, I worked with Hewlett Packard for 4 years or so with a T3 connection to the internet everyday, and tried MANY times to get different peer to peer programs to work, even with friends working in technical support departments.

Most likely, it wont work. The place where you are connecting from most likely has a firewall and other security protocalls (1 or 2 l's?, f**k it...) in place. Im sure it CAN be done, but unless youre a serious network genius or know someone that is...just forget about it. (I had the same exact issue, i.e., everything was installed perfectly but wouldnt connect...its a network administrator issue...and most likely, that person wont care whether you can download MP3's or not...).

Hope this helps some...
