Connection Problem I am unable to fully connect to Limewire. It will say "connecting" in the status bar and then within a few minutes it will change to "DISCONNECTED" then in a few more minutes it goes back to "Connecting" and never really will connect. I am connected to the Internet, and I did go through those instructions about adding the Gnutella ports to the firewall settings. :mad: |
Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version, 2. What firewalls you have, 3. ram, 4. HDD space available, 5. Connection type, 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers, 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. |
I have Windows XP, Firewall is Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall, RAM=256MB, Connection Type is a Dial-up Modem, Modem name is HSP56MR (VIA), and I am connecting from home. I can connect to the internet just fine, and I used to be able to connect to Limewire, but now I cannot. |
Have you configured your firewalls for LW: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Try these one by one until one works: 1. Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire (BUT make a note of all your LW settings 1st b/c you'll need to reset them after deleting LW's Prefs folder!!!) 2. Update your Java version 1.5 (take the JRE) 3. 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. 4. Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and changed compatability setting to Windows 2000. 5. Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator. |
