These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form.

Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

| Try posting more specific info on setup first. Please try to answer all the questions. Sorry for any repeat 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 ? (Dial-Up, ADSL, 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 ? If it worked before Have you made any changes prior to it not working anymore? (Updated programs, installed new programs, got new antivirus etc.) 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 |

| 1) My connection was perfect, always excellent, all bars are green. The problem is when i click on limewire icon, the limewire interface loads for 2 seconds and then it disappears and nothing happens. 2) I have completely removed my limewire, so \I don't if the test/link you gave me is necessary. Let me know if it is, I will reinstall limewire again. 3) I have windows xp sp2, 80GB free space, 512MB, I tried download the latest limewire, which is 4.12 and the Java is the 1.5 update 8 (I think the latest one). I have McAfee Firewall, and Anti-virus protection. Modem/router is from SBC DSL (HomePortal) I have the elite version of the DSL, fastest one they have. Not sure about the speed, he said something like 3-6. No sharing with other computers. Limewire has always worked, but suddenly it stopped. i had the latest updates for microsoft windowns maybe on Aug. 8/9 and the limewire stopped working a few days after that. i have not made any changes, updated microsoft windows xp alerts, thats about it. What is p2p applications? Thanks |

| P2P stands for Peer-To-Peer. P2P applications are Limewire, Bearshare, Azureus etc. Anything that will allow you to connect and download/upload from other users. Do the test anyway. It's more to test your ISP than anything else. They might be blocking ports etc. If it says true then they're not In some firewalls you have to make new exceptions for Limewire if you update So you're saying that it doesn't open at all now right ? Just the splashscreen then nothing ? Could sound like a Java Problem. Try downloading Java 1.5 update 6 (the offline version) then remove your current version and install that one instead. Just don't know why a Windows update would currupt the java  Also if you have an older installer for Limewire saved somewhere then you could try downgrading again Don't you get a errormessage when Limewire stops loading ?
