hey um i think i know what my problem is i got vista and one time when i was trying to repair i reset my ip. my ip is now 198.168.0.3 and the one its configuered on my wireless adapter is 198.168.0.1 so my question is how can i get limewire (Version 4.13 btw) to reset its connection to the adapter/router cuz im pretty sure thats the problem. worked fine before btw.

edit: NVM i figured it out on my own i did ipcofig/release and while it was still trying to reconnect i did the stupid repair on my network and chose the option that caused it to not work which was automatically get new ip setting for adapter and voila it worked as soon as it connected

100% SELF resolved
thanks anyways

Thanks for this tip, I was getting really annoyed with COX's tactics. I have one question though. COX says they have a problem with uploading. You're allowed to download whatever you want but they don't want you sharing (uploading). Will this keep them from detecting uploads or am I better off just not sharing any files? I ask because I've already been disconnected twice while using bittorrent, and if I'm disconnected a third time, it will be permanent.

One thing i've noticed, once u connect to the network (try to get turbocharged) u can uncheck the force ip and put the proxy back to (no proxy box)... if u dont, i've noticed the search results and speeds are slower thus i beleive u mvoe at ur proxy speed so uncheck the force ip box and select the no proxy box and click apply and ok if u wanna search and d/l at regular speeds!!!

Angry Another ISP that throttles LW

Speednet, in Michigan throttles limewire during the day, according to a company rep. Heres what he told me:
My network gurus say we don't block but only throttle filesharing during the
day. hrm
However, it seems Charter does not. Looks like i'll be changing ISP's

Be wary of Charter. There have been odd reports of problems with them also. ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire or search Charter on the forum.

I don't know much about Proxies myself so can only point people to where people have suggested using proxies with some success. But as the author of this thread pointed out to me, you do need to keep trying different proxy numbers as some don't work or don't work very well.

Has anyone who has had this problem with Insight changed IP's yet? If so, what was the result?

I have tried that. I have Netzero and have tried everything so far including what you said but I cannot connect at all. How can I find out if Netzero has LimeWire blocked?

Thanks!
