i have gone through page after page on this forum and *nothing* that i've tried has worked.

i'm on a mac g4, os-x. i went through the firewall instructions on the limewire site but it didn't seem to do anything.

when i click http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ i get an error message ("Safari can’t open the page “http://www3.limewire.com:6346/” because it could not connect to the server “www3.limewire.com”.)

when i do the bug report example it says "Received incoming this session: false"

i have one green bar and the quality says Connecting. my connection status says Leaf (i have no idea what that means). i have NO connections.

PLEASE help, i am completely lost!

jaeru which OSX version you running? Go to OSX section of forum to see solutions to Java issues related to OS 10.3.9 updates.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. What firewalls you have?
2. ram?
3. Hard Disk space available?
4. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
5. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
6. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
7. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
8. Are you networked or sharing a router?
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

I have added Limewire to the firewall exceptions, I have deleted the personal folder and restarted, I have done everything suggested by everyone here. Yet when I start up livewire it stays at Quality: Connecting and does absolutely nothing!!!
I have even gone in under options and put it to manual port (tried several different port #'s) but still nothing, nada, zilch. I am currently on Windows Xp and we have a T1 line here at work. Any suggestions?

After buying a new PC today I could not get my limewire Pro to work for love nor money, however I believe I have found the necesserey solution:

*******************************

Normally new PC's come with Java on them, but an outdated one. Go to the Sun Java website and download JRE v1.5.0. It MUST be the JRE otherwise it will not connect. Use this link and follow the instructions:

https://sdlcweb4b.sun.com/ECom/EComA...1673A5E51CB6B4

This answered all my prayers, and I am glad I could share it with you guys!!

Ok, the link doesn't work!! Try this instead:

I already have this but it still doesn't connect, i am on an ad-hoc network, is there any simple solution that im missing, i have tried deleting .limeware and so on

mine finally connected, i just had to wait for about 10 minutes

I have just installed Limewire Basic 4.8.1

I can't connect at all. I have tried deleting Preference folder, disabling firewalls.

Going here http://www3.limewire.com:6346/
gives me 504 Gateway Timeout

My specs
1. Win XP SP1
2. Zonealarm (disabling it makes no difference)
3. 768MB RAM, 60GB HDD free
5. T1/LAN
6. Using a Realtek RTL8139, with SMC7004ABR Router
7. Home

My browser uses "Automatic Configruation Script"
I tried typing that proxy into Limewire (HTTP) and when I try to connect, it gives
"Your machine does not appear to have an active Internet connection or a firewall is blocking etc..."

If I don't use the proxy, the same error comes out, except that it will remain in "Connecting" mode for about 30seconds then give that error instead of giving the error immediately.

Can hanyone help me please?

Cox is infamous for blocking, if they are your providor, then using a proxy server is your only option.

Seach the web to see how to do this.

My folks, have Cox, and I never could get theirs to work.

Lime Wire usually just works, unless your ISP is blocking it..

I see that many people cant connect to limewire, now you can put me in that list. I have dowloaded files from limewire before but suddenly, 2 days ago, i couldnt connect to gnutella.

I have northon internet security, and belive me, the northon firewall is off ( it has always been off, so why should it suddenly turn itself on, anyway, i had dobbel checked that it is OFF)

I use Windows Xp pro, and the built in firewall is also off, i have never used it, and i have dobbel checked that also is off.

Here is the strange part, i cant even connect with Bittorrent (!), i use bittorrent 4.0.2 (i know bittorrent isnt the subject here, but would like to hear how many people that cant connect to limewire that also cant connect to bittorrent). Tryed bearshare too.. that doesnt work either ( i know its also gnutella but worth a try). All other internet activity works fine, my IE dowloads web sites well, and i can also download files with IE, i can also play games online.

Its so strange that Bittorrent and limewire should all of the sudden stop connecting. I have read many post on this threads, and tryed every solution . Remove /.limewire directory, turned off connect-at-start-up and amnually connected, re-installed limewire.

I know this maybe sounds like a ISP block, my ISP is Telenor (norway), but i know people that use telenor as ISP and they can connect to gnutella and downlaod torrent files.

I have also used Ad-aware and Spybot S&D to clean my system

Please come with more tips to solve this problem.

I see myself with moderate computer skill.
