![]() I am currently running on WindowsXP and have limewire version 4.10.5 i am having alot of issues with connecting to limewire it states i dont appear to have a connection..........but i do what could i possibly do to solve this i NEED limewire i also have already tried many methods such as deleting the ".limewire" file and restarting limewire didnt work and the connect at start-up and self connect thing didnt work either |

![]() Have a look here for basic connection tips: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=51357 Make sure your firewall's configured for LW & that you're only running 1 firewall (2 will cause probs). Check out whether your modem/router uses UPnP. If it does, turn it on in the router & also use it in LW ( tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick 'use UPnP & apply). Do the port test. All this stuff's in the thread ![]() |

![]() Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk 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...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. |

![]() Remember, XP has its own firewall. So ensure it is either configured for LW or disabled totally. Make sure your Linksys router is set for UPnP. You didn't specify the model, but here's a quick example of how to do Linksys UPnP setting (click on link) BTW if you have a linksys wrt54g, then manual port forwarding might be needed. If you tried FW also & also your friend can't connect through the same isp then it sounds suspicious. Try this program, bearshare lite & see if it connects. If not, then the problem may well be your isp after all http://www.filehippo.com/download_bearshare_lite/ BTW isp's will not normally tell you if they're blocking or filtering p2p. |
