Jason Sunfire | January 29th, 2004 10:37 AM | Problems Connecting to Limewire Recently, I began having problems connecting to the Gnutella network through both Limewire and Bearshare. I've been using both for a number of months and have only had problems in the last few weeks, and have just thought to try posting on the forum to see if someone can help me with my problem. I have tried deleting the preferences folder in the "Documents and Settings" folder, as well as the suggestion of disabling startup tips and automatic connection. I have, in addition, added the 6346 port to my firewall to allow an internet connection through it.
The OS that I am using is Windows XP, and I am on a two-computer network, the other computer being the host. Apparently, my roommate is able to connect to Bearshare, but I am not. When I look at the Connections section of either program, all the host connections continually timeout. Also, I have the latest version of both Bearshare and Limewire. Can anyone here tell me how to fix this? I really like both programs, and don't wanna have to try and find a different one. |
