Hi, i'm also new on this forum and cannot get anything to happen once i open limewire. It has been working great up until now.

I have uninstalled and installed limewire 4.12.6 and the same with Java, I even figured out to download offline as online/reccomended didnt work. I have checked my firewall settings and as mentioned above the pop up settings. aaaaagh its driving me nuts trying to get it connected. My connection bars have only one green and four red at the bottom of the page, if thats a clue to anyone out there that can offer some advise.

Thanks to anyone who helps me keep my sanity and pc in one piece!!!!

Well after reading lots of information here. This is what I tried and it did work. Thanks LOTR.

I added Port 6349 to my McAfee Personal Firewall for both UDP and TCP. I then restarted my PC and was able to go again. I initially had planned to also add the 4226 patch but my anti-virus said there is a "potentially unknown problem" with the Tool EVid file. After much research on that I decided I might add it later if I have problems.

I'll keep searching the forum for any additional tips. Thanks to all who helped.

The EviD Patch is safe. Your antivirus detects it as a Hacktool, which is exactly what it is. But it's you doing the hacking so no problem there :wink:

Thanks, Sleepless.

That's really sums up all the information I've found. When I use the patch I will feel confident it's "ok".
