Salut mskate, the staic IP is an arbritrary IP you give to your computer, that IP being one in the range supported for your router. For Netgear you should choose anyone in the 192.168.0.2 -192.168.0.9 range. For exemple if you set your computer as 192.168.0.2, this is the IP you enter in the Server IP Address filed in the router config.

Bonne chance

Dealing with Cox in Northern Arkanss, have tried "Lord of the Rings" proxy settings work around to no avail... his screen shots are for an older version... have 4.6 installed on the folks puter... I'm in Kansas City, no problems running LimeWire... Their setup is very straightforward... no router, no firewall... just cox blocking...

Looks like you didn't look further down that page about force ip. The newer image is further down. It's actually identical.

But, the only link I can find is to an older version... the "force IP" seems MIA in version 4.6.... if you know where a thread that is pertainant to 4.6, could you post the link here please?...I found the original post, but the only image in it, is for an old version of LimeWire... If you know what version it is, I'd use it instead of the newest... just want to get em connected. In one of your posts you mention that the force IP "has" been removed...

I am new to computers & new to Limewire. How come my boxes in left hand bottom corner are staying red & say connecting. If I try to search the message says Limewire is still connecting & your search may result in fewer results.

After opening LW it's best to leave it for a time before doing anything. Give it a chance to settle. Then search. It should have green or blue bars in the connection quality not red.

hi i've tried all the suggestions and nothing seems to work i have windows xp and i've set the firewall up. i tried the jar thing but i can't figure it out. it asks me what program to run it with and i'm like aaa.....

well if you can help
thanks

I give up, for a couple of days it worked fine but now when I open it up it connects only about 1 out of 20 tries. maybe i'll try it agin in a few months when a new version comes out...

Been messing around with this for weeks now. Tried everything.

I am running Win2000

I am a SouthWest Bell DSL customer with a 2wire router

There are two other computers that successfully run Limewire in my apartment. One is a PC that is wired, the other is a laptop that is wireless. They are both WinXP.

The computer I am having problems with is a laptop and is connected wirelessly.

I'm running Norton, and have allowed Limewire and javaw.exe to access the internet.

I have set my 2wire firewall to allow Gnutella on port 6346. At first when I tried to do this, it wouldn't allow it because the port was already being used. I still don't know what was using it (I downloaded a program to tell me what programs are using what port, and I didn't see a conflict), but the next day when I tried to force my 2wire firewall to allow Gnutella, it accepted it.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have shut down Limewire and deleted the .limewire folder and restarted, I have unchecked the "Connect at Startup" and restarted, I have changed the port to 7000 and restarted.

At one point I was using ZoneAlarm. I deleted it before I installed Norton. To be certain that there weren't any residual blocks from ZA, I re-installed it, manually went in and allowed all access for Limewire and javaw.exe. When this didn't work, I uninstalled ZA again.

I have used AdAware, I know that in the past I've seen problems from AdAware on other computers (causes Outlook to stop connecting). I'm not sure if it is causing the same for LimeWire, and I wouldn't know how to correct it if it were.

I hope this is enough information for someone to be able to help, I really don't want to have to clean up all te spyware from other file sharing programs. But I will if I can't get this to work.

Thanks!
