Default 1 Green Bar!

Ok. When I start up LimeWire at the CONNECTION BAR image it saids DISCONNECTED.

Then later 1 GREEN bar is FILLED!...




I tried doing that thing that LIMEWIRE told me to do. With the Gnutella and the UDP port and stuff...

I also tried PORTFOWARDING for my router...

PLUS. I don't live in a dorm and I have been in the same room right beside my ROUTER.
I had used LIMEWIRE before and worked FINE! but now its not working and Im really mad.

Have you been through this sticky?
Connection problems? Check here first!

Do the port test & see if it works. Did you also try enabling UPnP within your router (if it supports it)?

You'll need to give us a few more details. Post #2 of the sticky shows the info we need:wink:

Exactly why I didn't bother to answer. As I expected that "same" problem was far from the same problem. If you live in a dorm then there is a good chance that Limewire is blocked by the school.

I was referring to your reply to the other thread.

If you don't make any progress by following Birdys link then start with posting more details. You will find out which by reading through the thread that she linked to.

Oh and I missed that "don't" before when reading your post. Hence my answer
