Salut rhschumaker,
now you'll test switching another port like 1234 (my favorite ;) ) to see if your ISP (internet service provider, yours is Charter) block Gnutella ports (6346-6348).

If that doesn't work, we'll see if LW is the problem by downloading another Gnutella app free of spywares: www.bearshare.com/lite/

If bearshare doesn't work, the problem is probably your ISP blocking the Gnutella traffic, call them!

Bonne chance :p

I was able to download and run bearshare. Again, I am a computer retard and don't understand what this means, why I can't use limewire. I put '1234' into the port and it accepted that. I don't want bearshare, if possible. We've been happy with limewire, just paid to upgrade again...any suggestions? If nothing else, is there a way for me to get an earlier version and just contact limewire for my $14.50 back? Please help:confused:

You aren't clear... IS bearshare able to connect??

Now please list the processes that show up with ctrl-alt-delete. There ia probably an installed app such as Norton or McAffee that stops you from connecting.

Ciao

sorry for being unclear - yes, bearshare is able to connect. When you say ctrl-alt-delete, I'm confused. If I were to do it now, 'lock computer', 'shut down', 'task manager', 'cancel', 'log off', 'change password' all show up in the dialog box. I'm probably way off with what you want me to do - sorry. Please explain and I'll execute immediately. Thank you!!

task manager. There should be a lot of processes, so if you can post a screenshot, it would be great (when you reply there is the option to attach file below the reply text box).

Ciao

I'm sorry for even having to ask you this...I can get there - I just don't know how to attach a screen shot. sorry, sorry, sorry

let me clarify - I don's know how to copy it so that I can add it as an attachment.

You have to take a screenshot first with a screenshot program (Fabion might help you there as I'm on a mac, I hate windows ;) )

Could you also tell us if there is any text showing in the connection tab (enable it in display-> show/hide->connections) -sorry if in english it is different than my frenchto english translation, I prefer LW in french ;)

Ciao :p

Well not that I have been ignoring this, but I was looking to see if I had any programs to do this, and I don't. I've been wanting to make some up myself. Guess it's time to do a google.

I'll be back when I find something, hopefully free.

Here is a link to a free program that will take screen snapshots. http://www.irfanview.com/

I just d/l it and it works okay. You will just have to follow the instructions.

You can save the snapshop, and then attach the snapshot here as an attachment.

this didn't work
