![]() Do you get any green connection bars at all? Do this test & see of it works http://www3.limewire.com:6346 Double check that your Windows firewall's configured properly (no need to turn it off) Firewall setup What's the model of your modem? Have a look through the manual & see whether it has an internal firewall, this could be what LW's detecting. If so, you should think about using it with UPnP enabled or port forwarding. There's a lot of info about these in the thread below ![]() Connection problems? Check here first! If you're still stuck, post back with all your details OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW |

![]() Well something's blocking your access to LW's default port...possibly your ISP. Have you ever tried to use any other p2p apps & if so, did you have problems? A couple of people have had trouble with Ygnition. Have a look at the article below (scroll down to post from KW33D), it suggests they're traffic shaping. http://www.dslreports.com/comments/2599 Maybe you should give their help desk a call, try & find out if they're shaping or blocking you. You could try using a different port, see the suggestions below http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...00&postcount=2 If you do change ports, you'll also have to change port numbers allowed within your firewall. There's not much point in trying to sort out your firewall until you know that you'll be able to use LW ![]() |

![]() That is the wierd part. I have tried changing the ports, no luck. A buddy that I work with uses a USB mini-dish of some sort to connect to the internet via a wireless network (basically piggy backing someone else's wireless network). Anyway, he brought it over the other day and we installed it and found a wireless connection to use. I unplugged my modem so that I knew we were going through the wireless network and still could not connect to LW ![]() |
