Connection Quality Hi Lord of the Rings, It looks as we may have won. I downloaded java 1.4 and now LimeWire gets passed Fair and goes to TurboCharge. Thanks for your help. MDS |
Connection Quality Lord of the rings. I still cant get connected and i now know its not my routers problem. As when i shutdown my router i still cant connect. Theirfore its the program itself and plus i called my routers company and asked them what i could do within the router. The said once i set the DMZ to my computer its not the routers fault. So something else is stopping it. If u could email me ur phone number maybe i could try to get ahold of u and talk and u can help me out? my email is *** Thanks meeksy2001 Sorry meeksy2001 we can't post our personal details in forum posts.

Salut Meeksy, there are two possibilities: 1) SP2 is the problem 2) The router config is the problem To test wether it is 1) or 2) To test if 1) is the problem: Connect to the internet directly from the modem (unplug the router). If you can't connect and you think everything in Sp2 should be rightly configured, I suggest you to uninstall Sp2 in add/remove programs. Sp2 is a bitch. If it is not windows XP or firewall, the router is not well configured. I would reread that thread LOTR posted http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...291#post106291 Port forwarding is much more secure and better then DMZ, also, it works better at *really* opening ports. Bonne chance! ;) |
THANKS Hey u guys are awesome. I finally got it working. Here is what i did. I said GOOD BYE to SP2 as i have found out it just causes problems in everything. Then i java 5 is terrible to use. So i unistalled that also and i got 1.4 and man the connection is at excellent for the first time EVER for me in like 2 or 3 weeks and this is the first time i got it past fair. Thanks for all the help. Meeks |

I dont know why but its saying i am behind a firewall but i have zone alarm set up right and my router is also. Their for awhile it was like 1 day it wouldnt and they next day it would connect. But now it just wont connect and says im behind a firewall can any of u guys help me out please? Thanks Meeksy |
Sorry to hear you're still having problems. This may or may not make a difference but try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed. But before you do, make a note of your LW settings b/c you'll need to reset your LW option settings including Force IP (instructions in my earlier 2nd post.) LW Preferences folder is called .limewire & found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire |
