Connection Problems Problems getting the LimeWire or WireShare program connecting to the Gnutella network.
(not about connecting to files, that is a Download/Upload Problems section issue.) Please supply system details as described in the forum rules.

Did Everything To Connect Except... -I tried downloading and using the purging program. -I clicked that link and it said "your test worked!". -My listening port in LW is on 6346. -Router Configuration in LW is use UPnP. -No proxy in LW. -I disabled XP firewalls. I don't have Norton but I use Avast! I disabled Avast! and it didn't work. I can connect for a couple minutes (it goes to excellent) but then it will disconnect and not reconnect. The window that says "your machine does not appear to have an active internet connection (it does though) or a firewall is blocking limewire from accessing the internet" pops up...Here is my system info... 1. XP Pro 2. XP's (disabled) Avast! antivirus ones? Again I disabled avast and tried with no sucess. 3. 256 of PC2100 4. I have 2 HDDs a 12G and 80G. One has 6G left and the other has 63G left. 5. 56K 6. US Robotics (hard modem not cheap Winmodem) 7. Home 8. LW 4.8.1 Java 1.5.0_04 9. AT&T Worldnet service The one thing I haven't tried is to see if my ISP accepts gnutella but I don't know how to tell or what to do about it.

Let's see if you can downld a magnet link. Go here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & choose any file to downld. Let's see what happens. By the way, are you using SP2? Which model of US Robotics is that? Is that the only connection device ... any other routers or computers connected? Any of those using LW? Are you connecting from home? Which isp do you use? Thanks for your information, it's nice to have people supply what they can (especially without being asked to.) |

I clicked on a few, my LW went to excellent connection and it started to download. Only 1KB/Sec though. That seems pretty standard, it happens with songs too. If I get 3 I'm doing good. The files were huge though so I didn't do the whole thing, it would have taken about a whole day. Don't have SP2 USR 2977 That is the only connection device, only computer home ISP is AT&T Worldnet service Also, something that I've noticed. About 3/4 of the songs I click to download (all have over 10 sources) say "need more sources"? |
