No the 2 things are totally unrelated. Why is it everyone else can connect. Just not many people from your isp. So did you try changing your port to one between 49152 - 65535? Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & changing listening port to one suggested. Perhaps try 65530 or 64049. You would need to press apply button, go to File>Disconnect, wait a minute, then File>Connect. |
Im currently connected on 57258 and got 3 green bars but nothing is downloading and i dont get much search results. |
atleast i got truth from optimum i got off the phone with optimum online and the tech said they do have there own firewall up for limewire. He said p2p is illegal and cause limewire is candaian based prosecution is not an option but that they did firewall it for "our protection" |
P2P isn't illegal the guy doesn't know what he's saying. Downloading copyrighted files (such as music) using a P2P program is illegal. But the P2P program itself is legal because there are uncopyrighted files that can be downloaded with one. Did you get the person's name? Call them back and spit in his face. |
Ask him what type of firewall & how it works. There's a great many people who would like to know. |
I'm on the phone with OOL right now. The man sounds really surprised when I said that they might be blocking ports. He's checking for what ports are being blocked as I type. |
Well, he said that the only ports that Lw does block are ports 25, 80, 8080, 135-139, 445, 1043, 1080, and 3128. I even turned off my Norton Firewall program and I still can't connect. I might try calling back tomorrow to see if a different person could give me some more information. |
not to put down limewire other then i guess mininova are there any other options to get music from right now? |
I knew it was only a matter of time until those damn ISP's started blocking which sites you can go to and which ones you can't. nazi's! |
so is the problem having both optimum online and voice if so i will cancle voice if lime wire will work??? |
