I Tried Everything I tried everything in all forums and I am still getting disconnected shortly after connecting. Not just limewire, but my entire Internet connection is dropped and the only way to fix it is to reboot. I am using the following equip. MSI MB with 2000+ AMD Integrated LAN 512 DDR RAM Connecting via Time Warner Roadrunner Cable High Speed Bandwidth Place reporting 2.6mb sec I have Zone Alarm installed and have provided full access. I am using Norton Antivirus 2004 I am running the free version of AdAware. (no continual protection) I followed all instructions online including deleting the .limewire after exiting the program and exiting the tray icon. I have unchecked the autoconnect and connect on startup. Even tried reinstalling, redownloading then reinstalling, and doing it all over and over again. Thought the problem might be integrated LAN so I disabled it and put in a D-Link DFE-530TX+, same problem. I then called my provider to find that nothing on my account was disabled and that they wore blocking nothing. What Next? I really wasted $18 if no one can fix this. |
Re: I Tried Everything I am having exactly the same problem and have tried almost everything too! I have: Asus MB with Intel Pentium 4 - 3GHz 1GB DDR RAM Integrated Intel LAN Netgear ADSL Modem Belkin 54g Wireless Router Connected by BT Broadband - ADSL @ 512kbps I have StopZilla! installed and I am currently running Windows Service Pack 2 Beta/RC2(a legal copy as I am a registered tester!) I am also running Norton SystemWorks 2003 and Norton Antivirus 2005 Beta (again legal copy!) Finally AdAware Professional is also running Windows XP Service Pack 2 - this installs the new Internet Firewall which I am also currently using. I have added the LimeWire port to this and all is ok with that. I have tried everything from reinstalling it, to downloading the latest version, to restarting, disabling firewalls, enabling ports disabling all above mentioned software and even hard-booting my modem and router. Nothing seems to work. LimeWire SOMETIMES connects and displays "Poor" or "Good" but then goes back to "Connecting". I have noticed that sometimes after a reboot if you go straight into LW and dont load ANYTHING else it works for a while. Also as soon as you load a new Internet browser window it cuts the connection. I dont think its anything to do with the Firewalls as the connection isnt working with or without them on. Really stuck...can anyone help?!! Thanks, JameZ |
Weird. Have you tried connecting your computer directlly to the modem to know if it could be a router problem? Bonne chance |
I am using no router. I am directly connected to the RCA Cable Modem. |
Can you try changing port from 6346 to another like 20000 in options-advanced-port? Apply and restart LW. Maybe your ISP is blocking the port 6346. Bonne chance |
Port Change Didn't Work For Me Changing the port had little or no effect that I noticed. It stayed active for about 15 minutes, then the same result. |
This might work, update the drivers of your ethernet card, it seems to be where there is a problem. (can you tell us the model and company of the card?) Bonne chance |
From the original post Thought the problem might be integrated LAN so I disabled it and put in a D-Link DFE-530TX+, same problem. Newest drivers are installed. Please read the original post. All necessary tech info is there. |
I think I am in the same boat as you are. I have tried everything that has been suggested to get limewire to work. I think I wasted or purchased $ 18.00 worth of experience. |
Different specs for me, but same problem. What the heck is it though, and what is the solution!!??? |
