hmmm.... how come max is 4 hosts ?

More likely to find rare files. Doesn't make much difference on the popular ones

lol i also dont know why but for morpheus ultra i got abit faster bit like more than 30kbs/s for as few hosts too

My LW worked great and now all I get is "Connection Status Leaf" and brick wall in front of globe (comprable to previous threads) and no green bars to the left of it. Any idea why things won't connect?

I have already been through troubleshoot on FAQ and confirmed Gnutella settings and corresponding port but nothing.

Any wizards out there looking to drop some knowledge or insight?

thanks,
Gotafix?

Are you on a college network?

Hiya!

I know everyone is saying this- but i too have a wall infront of my globe. Ive enabled limewire access on my norton personal firewall and windows firewall is turned off, and i still cant connect!

Please help me!!

Jessica

Please explain, how do you connect to the internet?

i just replied to you by email- did you get it?

All in all it's just another brick in the wall...

I am experiencing the same problem and continue to troubleshoot to reclaim those glory days when this LW system worked like a charm (upon initial install).

gotafix?

gotafix, we're going to need some info
What has changed since everything worked well...hardware? ISP? New software? Anything? How long have you been having the connection problem?

Have you double checked your firewall config & made sure that you're only using 1 software firewall? Have you done this port test & did it work?

What are 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

How's your router set up? Do you have UPnP enabled or are you port forwarding (or neither)?

Got your email but you have set it so that I cannot reply directly online.

Anyway, it seems that you are connected to the internet via an ISP, for which you must pay a monthly subscription fee. If you were still connected to the university network I would have said that they must have introduced a firewall of some sort. But since you say you have a USB modem, and to my knowledge these do not have built in firewalls, then you could have put some sort of software on your PC that LW sees as a firewall.

Back in the past, I remember a version of LW that started to see PeerGuardian as a firewall, so I suggest you check what other additions you have added to your PC lately.

Finally, and I must say sorry for this silly question I am about to ask but are you sure you have a USB modem and not a modem/router (which has a built-in firewall) that is connected to your PC via a yellow cable?

If you have a modem/router device then that would have the firewall that LW is sensing.
