Tryed Everything Aswel! hi, i have had limewire for years and it has worked fine, but ever since iv updated it to 4.12.4 it wont connect, i purchased limewire pro after because i though it would work an i still have the same problem, it has not been connecting for around a week now and its annoying me, i have a wall in front of the world but i dont think i have a firewall. it does connect but only gets to a fair connection which is 3 bars then diconnects again, also my little limewire icon is grey not green and yellow which is unusual but i think thats just where it doesnt connect, i have tryed everything including deleting the preference foler and that and it still doesnt work. i have windows 98, could someone please help me and find something that works please! cheers |
From the bug report: " Received incoming this session: false " That means LW detects a firewall. What security programs do you have installed on your computer?? It can't be from your modem, since it is an onboard modem (if I remember correctly; and I think they don't have built-in firewalls). http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1.../Smilywais.gif |
i dnt have any programs with a firewall, well not that i know of anyway,does winzip have a firewall? |
Winzip doesn't have a firewall; it is a program to compress/decompress files. I 've gone through your bug report once more; the listening port is 2661 and not 48821 as you said in your post. Possible programs with firewall are McAfee, Norton, AOL, to name a view. Here is an example of my bug report: Detail: Example -- listing session information -- Current thread: AWT-EventQueue-0 Active Threads: 22 Uptime: 16:51 Is Connected: true Number of Ultrapeer -> Ultrapeer Connections: 0 Number of Ultrapeer -> Leaf Connections: 0 Number of Leaf -> Ultrapeer Connections: 5 Number of Old Connections: 0 Acting as Ultrapeer: false Acting as Shielded Leaf: true Number of Active Uploads: 0 Number of Queued Uploads: 0 Number of Active Managed Downloads: 1 Number of Active HTTP Downloaders: 1 Number of Waiting Downloads: 48 Received incoming this session: true Number of Shared Files: 32 Guess Capable: true Received Solicited UDP: true SIMPP version: 52 Port Stable: true FWT Capable: true Last Reported Port: 14192 External Port: 14192 IP Pongs Received: 47 Number of Content Response URNs: 0 Number of CreationTimeCache URNs: 33 VF Byte Cache Size: 0 VF Verify Cache Size: 0 VF Queue Size: 0 ByteBuffer Cache Size: 8646 Number of Waiting Sockets: 0 Number of Pending Timeouts: 2 Do you have any of those programs mentioned above on your computer? The firewall problem must originate from somewhere... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1.../Smilywais.gif |
hi,iv tryed to find the source of my firewall but i cant find it,i tryed downloading kazaa just to see if it worked and the same thing happens with that it wont connect, this is stupid now theres got to be a way to get my limewire working surely?is having a grey limewire icon in your system tray normal? cheers |

Try downloading a magnet file link from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml Tell us what happens. So you're using a dial up service for connecting to the net? |
No, a grey icon is not normal (only if you have some graphic card issue). I'm quite confused with your problem and I believe that there is somewhere an information (which you might think has nothing to do with LW) that we havn't heard so far and being the possible reason for your problem. Try one more thing; right click the LW icone on your desktop, go to properties and then to Compatibility. There you change to Compatibility to either Windows 2000 or Windows NT (try one after the other if the first doesn't work out). Did you have any installation of programs, updates of programs or added hardware to your computer prior to LW not more working?? http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1.../Smilywais.gif |
tryed downloading a magnet file, it just loads up limewire but still does not connect, yes i do use a dial up service to connect to the net its ntl:world,wel i do have an grey limewire icon in my system tray so that could have something to do with it,i dont no what it is thats blocking limewire the most i get is a fair connection but that goes after about 10 seconds,i have windows 98 so when i right click the desktop icon you dont have the option to change the compatibility, no i dont think i have downloaded anything recently, all iv been trying to do is get limewire working,i no its got to be something? |
