![]() You need to be a lot more specific if hoping to get help Try posting more specific info on setup first. Please try to answer all the questions. 1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all? Is there a brick wall in front of world ? 2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ? http://www3.limewire.com:6346 3. What are your details OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.) How much free harddiskspace ? How much RAM ? LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see) What Firewall you're using ? Modem/router brand & model ? Are you using portforwarding, UPnP or nothing ? (Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config) What is your listening port ? (Same as above) ISP (Internet Service Provider) ? Connection type ? (modem, DSL etc) + Speed Up/Down if you know Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ? Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same problems ? Also include any attempts to fix this. It helps people rule things out |

![]() Well this is a shot in the dark before going into the portforwarding because that can take a while to get working Did you by any chance by accident choose to not download without a licence ? That will render most downloads useless. If so go to Tools>Options>View>Popups and check the revert to default box Then press apply and ok then go to Tools>Options>Searching>Basic and uncheck Show Licence Warning Then go to Filters>Content and uncheck contentfiltering Press apply and ok If your Limewire still doesn't work right then post back in this same thread Good Luck |
