Can't seem to connect
 
I just installed LimeWire and before when I've used the program it's worked just fine. Now I can't seem to make a connection. As a matter of fact I am also having problems making a connection with BearShare as well. What's the problem?

Well I can now connect with BearShare. I unplugged my DiLink DI-604 router and plugged it in again and it seemed to solve that. But I still can't connect with LimeWire. Anybody know why?

I downloaded that .jar file but it looks when I double-click on it nothing happens. Nothing opens. What to do here?

Several things you can try. But 1st you should configure all your firewalls to allow both LW & Java full access & yes your router has an internal NAT firewall which will require a port to be forwarded.

1. Common firewall instructions: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

2. Set up a static IP instruction at the following link BEFOE opening a port for LW to have full access.
Port Forwarding instructions for the Dlink DI-604

3. Force IP within LW: Force IP instructions & sample image

4. Update your Java: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...radejava.shtml

5. Repair LimeWire using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs & click on Limewire on the Change/Remove button & it comes up with options and one of them is Repair. Try this.

6. Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and changed compatability setting to Windows 2000.

Try these things 1st & see how they go.
