Help Connecting
 
Hi.

I am having trouble connecting with Limewire Pro. I used to have Zone Alarm installed, but I uninstalled it a few minutes ago, thinking it was the problem (even though I had allowed an exception for LW), but it didn't help. I have also disabled Windows Firewall, so I have no firewall running on my computer now. However, LW claims that I do (it says it detects one at the bottom), and I am stuck at 'Starting Connection.' I cannot connect to http://www3.limewire.com:6346 (it says page cannot be displayed) BUT I CAN connect to https://webct.queensu.ca:8081. LW worked until just a few days ago. Ares won't connect anymore, either.

Windows XP SP2
LW 4.10.3 Pro, Java 1.5.0_06
Currently no firewall
Modem: D-Link DCM-202, Router: D-Link DI-524 (wireless)
Local ISP called Otelco
Connecting from home
I share a connection with my brother's Win 98 SE computer (connects to router through CAT5) and occasionally my friend's Win XP Home SP2 laptop (connects to router through wireless); I connect to router through wireless also.
It worked previously (for about a month now) but stopped 2 or 3 days ago.

Thanks guys.

It's probably your router(D-Link DI-524). This thread has links to setting it up for UPnP: Connection problems? Check here first!

Argg....
 
No luck. I set my router up for UPnP and that didn't work. Then I set up manual port forwarding for both my router and LW, but it still didn't work. I even put my static IP in the DMZ but to no avail (it even says I am still behind a firewall).

difficulty getting started
 
I am running a Mac OS X 10.3.9
I have tried to download limewire but it wont let me choose my HD to save it to during the setup process.
It says -You cannot install this software on this volume "Null"
How can I overcome this problem?
I know I have over 4GB of free disk space, and have gone through updating java.
Any ideas?????????

Your ISP probably started blocking/shaping p2p programs. There isn't much you can do about it except change ISP's:(.
