NETZERO and LimeWire
 

I have Netzero and LimeWire will not connect. I have tried everything I have found here so far with No luck! How can I find out if Netzero is blocking and if they are, what else can I do?
I am getting very frustrated!

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I can't find any reports so far that netzero is blocking. But ... that's not to say they aren't blocking or filtering.

Did you try the suggestion in the Sticky above in this section?

Thanks for responding. Yes I tried that. No luck. No change at all.

Would you provide the following information please.

Computer & CPU
Operating System & sp
RAM
HDD
LimeWire Version
Java Version
FireWalls
Modem
Connection Type

Thank you

Computer: GenuineIntel Windows 98 2nd edition
Intel Celeron Processor w/ 64.0MB RAM w/ 53% free
LimeWire version: 2.8.6
Java: (I have 1.3, but then I heard that could be it so I installed 1.5)
Firewalls: I am not sure. How do I tell?

Modem: AOpen FM56-SM Soft PCI Modem
Connection type: Dial up

Thanks so much.

Just got off the phone with NetZero. Couldn't get a straight answer if they were blocking/filtering p2p programs Or if they were blocking/filtering port 6346.

Geez they pratically want your first born male child to get any answers. They did finally get me through to there tech. support.

One person did't know, The other person said no they don't block or filter port 6346, but would investigate and call me back.

I'm not holding my breath:)

HAHAHAHA Thanks for helping out. I used to use LimeWire with AOL with no probs.

Also How can I find if my computer has Firewalls? (sorry if that sounds like a stupid question)

Thanks again!

Don't know for sure if this will work, but try doing the bug report in this link.

Also if you have any antivirus or internet security programs they sometimes have firewall.

I have Norton Internet Security which has a firewall and also WindowsXP sp2 has a firewall. (the later doesn't apply to you)

OK, I feel like maybe, just maybe we are gettin somewhere. I do have Noton Anti-Virus 2004, but how do I find out if it has a firewall and how do I disable it?

I'm really going out on limb here, because I'm not familar with your versions.

Try following the steps in this link. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=30505

Also did you try doing the bug report.

The bug report in your version of LW will probably be displayed horizontally on a single line & not vertically as Bug Report instructions & sample image does. We want to know whether 'incoming=' True or False?

Normally on a dial up you shouldn't need to worry about forcing ip. But if you're concerned about your isp then it might be worth a try. Within LW do this: Force IP instructions & sample image using Port 6346

On my version of LimeWire I do not have Bug Reports on my options list.

I think I got it....well for now it seems. I disabled my Anti-Virus and in the port section in Limewire I put 80.
So far it is working. I tried to get on a few times and it didn't let me, then I restarted my comp and it works most of the time.

Thanks for all of your help. Now it just seems like the one song I am trying to get I am getting corrupted copies everytime, but that's another issue :O)

Thanks alot!
