![]() Since all I did was download the program already created, you decide. Regardless, the problem exists and won't go away by its self. I've checked and rechecked my firewall settings, called my ISP to see if they are blocking P2P, checked my priorities. What did I miss? The longer this goes on the more frustrated I become. |

![]() Hi zdevon, You've contacted your ISP & seem to be fairly confident that they're not causing you a problem. So the firewall issue must be coming from within your setup... logically it's either a software firewall or an internal firewall within a modem or router. I asked you twice in your earlier thread to give your system details but you didn't answer all of my questions! http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=58333 Hobo asked you again in this thread to answer all previous questions & still you didn't! How on earth can anybody help you if you don't give information? If LW is detecting a firewall from within your modem or router, you will have to tell us what brand & model you have. There is no crystal ball. Are you using just the XP firewall or something else (like ZoneAlarm or Norton)? Are we supposed to guess? If you're getting all green connection bars, just not 'turbo', I would worry about that later. At least you have a reasonable connection... concentrate on getting the firewall off for now. |

![]() Birdy, I have my xp firewall turned off and my norton firewall configured to accommodate LW. As far as my modem goes, your guess is as good as mine. It's my cable company's property. I don't have a manuel for it. If I were to delete the latest version of LW and reinstall my 4.10.3 v. , would i recover all my downloads? I'm getting pretty fed up with this new version. |

![]() Providing your saved folder is still in a safe place (the default location is C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Shared). They're safe anyway, just as long as you haven't moved them to some strange location where they might be deleted if you uninstall your current version (some people have put their saved folder in weird places)! I've gone back to old versions before & never had any trouble. Last edited by birdy; August 9th, 2006 at 11:28 PM. |

![]() Birdy, In my SECOND reply in this thread I gave all the particulars of my operating system, at least all I know. I may not have mentioned that I am using Symantic (Norton) security which I have configured to accommodate LW (then reconfigured just to be sure). To make things even MORE interesting, now LW won't maintain a connection. This started today! Let me know if you require any other info. I'm not sure if I have the technical savvy to have the answer, but I will try. Dell 4600 P4 3.06 GHz w/HT Win. XP 2000 Home 1024 MR DDR SDRAM@333 MHz 258 Ram Roadrunner modem, model DCM 245 Hope this will suffice. |

![]() Birdy, I did answer your questions as to my system specs. Was there something I missed? If so let me know so I can give you the information you require. LIke I mentioned, this problem started when I downloaded the latest version of LW. Up till then everything was absolutely great. So, let me know whay else you need, if you would. |

![]() One big advantage of LW 4.12 is that if you need to resume files from the incomplete folder, they will resume from the % where they were. This was not true for earlier versions, & if downgrading in versions this has always been the case of LW not recognising the newer downlds. But that also depends upon how back in versions you downgrade to. ![]() |

![]() I just disabled my entire firewall system and I still am getting a firewall notice on LW. How can that be possible? I seriously need some help here. Not just suggestions but solutions! |

Is it just me, or do the bugs get worse each version? | Unregistered | General Mac OSX Support | 2 | March 30th, 2002 08:42 PM |
