I'd say get rid of the version of LW that you have...There is no limewire 9...What they have made you pay for is probably full of spyware....Demand your money back....

Back to your static IP, you don't pay for it, if you follow the instructions that I provided you you will create one...

I'll be gone until 4:00p.m. EST
Thanx!!! that's really nice of you Why! :-)

So they gave you Pro not Basic....Pro does cost $18.88US...If you download from the link I gave you, you will only get the basic version and that's free, but it is legit...
Did your version have this at the top



Now onto the static IP, I don't know what your ISP is on about, getting a static IP doesn't cost, unless they want to do it for you and charge you...I really don't think the customer service people know what their talking about, or their trying to scare you out of it...
Doing it yourself is not at all hard and you don't have to wait a couple of days for it either....
Follow the steps in the link I gave...Write down the stuff it says to write down and enter that info into the places it says to enter it, it all looks technical but it's not...

btw... who is your ISP....

Just to clarify. Some ISPs charge extra for a static IP (A global static IP). The static IP you need to have is a Local Static IP.

You can still have a Local static IP, even if your global is dynamic (just ask WW )

You do need to get the DNS server numbers (two IP addresses) from your ISP though, and if they give you crap about that, then you give them the hard time. I think they are even obligated to give them out to customers when asked.

And WW is right, if they told you those things, they have no idea what they are talking about.

I actually had never heard of being charged, thanks sleepless...

With the DNS server numbers aren't they already supplied...I found them when I followed the static IP instructions, I never had to ring my ISP...

Thanx!

All I aksed for when I got their tech. support was if they would/could provide me with an IP address and a Static IP . The tech froze! He asked me to repeat what exactly it was I was looking for and I mentioned the "IP" address...that he gave me, then I asked for a "static IP" and nothing. I thought the call got dropped or something but no. He needed to check with his supervisor and put me on hold and then came back and told me was near impossible and the cost was way too expensive(his words btw).
So what you're saying is be very specific when I call my ISP back as to Local vs.Global static IP correct?
I'm going to give this one more try before I quit on this "project" for the night...only to be picked up again this time tomorrow right! UGH! this isn't fun for us "self taught" little folk out here.Unlike you and WW!
BUt I really do appreciate your help for sure!
I'll keep you posted!

Don't say anything about static IP numbers ask for the DNS server numbers, when you have them you can enter them where the instructions tell you to...

Karen!! I had the EXACT same problem as you. Started with MP3Downloading and through all the others, ended up at Limewire. I finally just moved all my music to a general folder on my Hard drive and uninstalled and deleted every music downloader I had. Restarted my computer and went to Limewire.com. I disabled my Norton Anti-virus and I got the Limewire 4.12.11 Pro version. Followed everything to the T AND IT WORKED!!!! After I downloaded a song to make sure I wasnt seeing things, I put my AntiVirus back on and everything was fine. I went through the same crap as you and was in tears because I could not get straight answers or ANY answers what so ever. I hope this helps ( I do realize you were having issues back in December...me too!!).
Hope it works for you as easy as it worked for me. I had to do NOTHING with my ISP or #'s.

hey! You're back! :-)

I originally signed up ( way,way back) with Mp3dowloading.com (that was/is their name) and then it changed from that to Etomi Pro>360SharePro & LimeWire. That's the order of how I got to where I'm at now. No where! LOL! Sorry...I'm getting a little "anxious"...frustrated actually. So much work when everything was working perfectly then bamm! It's over? Just like that? Because why again?? I"m sorry, I missed that...why do things like this happen out of no where???
O.k. sorry...venting! ;-) It's not your fault Why!
Any way I thank you for your help! I'm almost positive that where you're sending me I've already been to. (Boy that sounds bad if taken out of text!:-) )and I get to a specific spot where I have no choice to call my IP and beg for some #'s that you (and the rest of the world) say should be very "available" and easy to obtain...and that's including a Static IP? They simply won't even discuss it. I've asked for supervisors and I got news for ya....no better.
Any way why...I'm going to do my best and I'll send you a post either way,k?I apprreciate your going out of your way to see that I get ALL the information and that's rare these days. TRUST ME!

So I'm departing on my journey into "
