1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. ram?
4. HDD space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...)
9. Have you used LW successfully before or is this the 1st time?
10. Who is your ISP provider?

These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.
I'm having some fun with this....
1. OSX 10.3.9
2. Std OSX firewall + that on NetComm NB5 ADSL-2 modem router
3. 512Mb
4. 25Gb
5. broadband
6. refer 2
7. home
8. LW 4.8.1, Java 1.4.2_09
9. No I haven't used it succesfully before
10. www.iprimus.com.au

The error I get is that limewire tells me that either I'm not connected to the internet or behind a firewall.

Additional - I have tried www3.limewire.com:6346 - get a timeout error - If I try without the port number the page works fine. Another machine sitting on the network can access this page fine.

Have tried http://www.grc.com/port_6346.htm and it tells me that the port is open.

I have checked all the firewall options between the OSX firewall and the firewall on the modem and have them open on port 6346.

I am in the process of downloading to re-apply Security Update 2005-002 and LimeWire 4.9. I am also going to try sometime soon to put limewire on another machine on the network to try.


Is the updates likely to fix the problem for me, or is there something else that I have overlooked?

Thanks

pjay
