|  Connection  I have tried the purge and it didnt work. It just put some files on my desktop that couldnt be opened or read because it says I dont have the right program.  I also tried all of your other suggestions and non have worked.  I have the latest version of limewire and java installed and my os is XP.  Please help, My connection used to work and then I moved, hooked it up to a satellite, where it worked for 2 days and now doesnt work at all.  I have e-mailed limewire tech support and havent heard a reply and its been about a week!! Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance, Mike Pedersen Last edited by Lord of the Rings; July 4th, 2005 at 08:46 PM. |

|    Hi, I am using Windows XP professional 2002 Service Pack 1 40 GB hardisk 256 MB RAM. I am trying to connect Limewire from my office. I font have any firewall software on my system, though it must be existing on the server through which i am connecting. I use HTTP proxy and we have user authentication password for that which is not supported by LW....is there any other option to conect? How do i get to know if i can ever be able to connect or not? |

|    I am having the same problem as  LEFTSAID FRED. None of the F.S. programs will. I tried quite a few. Bearshare, Shareaza and a few more. I just cant connect. My ISP Is QWEST DSL and Modem Is ACTIONTEC  #:GT701-WG With wireless router. If there are any solution a response would be apreciated.  |

|    space_silent your modem/router might not be UPnP capable. In which case you should probably manually forward a port for your device. To do so you MUST 1st set up a static ip or else it won't work. For instructions see below: 1. Set up static ip. 2. Forward port 6346 using these instructions: http://www.portforward.com/actiontec/701.htm 3. Within LW, see this: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that. Also make sure your firewall is properly configured to allow LW full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml |

|  can't connect  i don't want to sound like a moron (but i probably do), but all of this static ip, port forwarding stuff makes no sense to me.  i'm relatively computer literate, but when it comes to stuff like this, i need stuff broken down step by step.  anyone still willing to help?  if not, just tell me how to get my money back.  thanks!  |
