i basically cant connect to limewire......because of my firewall.....but i changed it and it still doesnt connect.....and i already looked at the other forums that say how to do it but i just dont understand.

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. 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?
13. Try and download a magnet file from here and see what speed you get for it, then post the result as well:http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

I can not connect either,I have high speed qwest internet and had no problems until the last few days is there no way to contact them for some time of help I paid the one time fee and can still get no tech help

Quoting my questions, yet keeping them unanswered is definitely a smart move.....

Whom have you paid a one time fee (how much?)?

If you want us to help you, you'll have to answer as many of the above questions as possible......otherwise, my crystal ball is today a bit foggy....

i paid a one time fee to limewire to be able to download music and now I can not connect to it

Maybe you should try explaining your problem then some forum members may try and help you.

Remember, we don't have crystal balls or read other peoples minds nor do we practice astral projection or foretell the future.

now that's some real info....one time fee eh?...sounds like you need to use the search function of this forum and search for 'scammers'

ever since i installed the new yahoo tool bar it seems to not want to connect

tsk tsk tsk...wouldn't know anything about yahoo toolbar, as I've always refused those **** download packages that include the most likely evil thing..

try going to your control panel>add/remove programs and uninstalling the thing

and please stay on track...you haven't even answered the 'required' questions about your situation as listed in post#2 of this thread
