My isp is BPS telephone, and I have no incomplete files (deleted them when I started reading this board).

windows 2000 is the newest setting, and that was one of the tips. Also if I just leave Limewire alone, it will put a msg that it was not able to connect, about a hundred times.

This doesn't look good. Just searched BPS. http://www.bpsnetworks.com/aup.html

Servers
Users are not permitted to establish servers on any BPS Networks connection without prior, written consent from BPS Networks. Types of servers specifically banned include, but are not limited to:

Sharing of files (ftp servers and peer-to-peer sharing software, such as Napster® or Gnutella® are examples)
Mail servers (SMTP or POP3/IMAP servers)
Web Servers

It looks as though you have to get special permission, otherwise they block p2p programs.

It does look that way doesn't it! I'd suggest you contact the isp & find out whether they have applied a filter or port block or other blocking method on your use of LW.

As simple test for port block of 6346 is to use your browser & visit this page: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say ‘Test Page was a Success’. What happens when you go there?

I remember reading another member's comment about their isp on the forum before that if you share/upload more than a certain amount of files then it's seen as a server.


I came across this comment, quote: "I also believe they are hindering P2P uploads on residential accounts because they consider any running and connected P2P application a server no matter what is being shared, legal and illegal." http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...xhsi;mode=nest

Did the test and it was fine. Even deleted a few files(only had 40 to start with) thought that might help. no good.

Tried to connect this morn. hooked right up. I didnt even know there was a turbocharged. been workin all day at excellent. Thanks for the help but looks like it may have fixed itself.
