Firewall Support/I don't have a firewall I've ready probably about 50 posts now about people having relatively the same issue as mine. I'm going to attempt to provide as much information as possible. Go ahead and be specific, I'm an IT Specialist as my main profession. Just wondering if I missed something. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP SP2 2. What firewalls you have? None/Built in on Router. Using a DMZ Host to bypass the built in firewall on the router. 3. How much ram? 2 Gigs 4. Hard Disk space available? 198 Gigs 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband Cable(Comcast) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? LinkSys WRK54G Firmware Version 1.52 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.12.6 Java - 1.5.0_05 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? "Your test worked!" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No. 12. Is this a your 1st try at FW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. First try 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of FW's interface? Yes |
