![]() i've been using limwire pro 4.12.3 for about one year now. i've had minor problems in the past with freezing issues but my connection is almost guaranteed to be turbo-charged everytime i open up. Recently, limewire remains stuck at the starting connection stage and i cannot connect any more. Unless my isp has suddenly disabled my p2p, i do not know what happened. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks |

![]() 1. OS version? windows xp 2. What firewalls you have? McAfee 3. How much ram? 1 GB 4. Hard Disk space available? Plenty of space 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? [B******[/B] 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)? 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? Test works 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? basic home set up with two other computers sharing a wireless router 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. i'm a regular limewire user for about a year 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes, it has always been there but never affected performance |

![]() Has anything changed since you could connect (new or upgraded hardware, software, ISP plan etc)? What version of Java are you using? What's the model of your modem/router? Try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's closed. See points 2 & 3 below. No guarantees it'll change anything but it's helped the odd person so it's worth a try. Fixes for LimeWire |

![]() nothing had changed before the whole connection problem. i upgraded to the latest version of java and i don't know what my router/modem's model is. i've been through all of the the deleting preferences folder and general fixes for limewire before and nothing has worked. if all else fails should i just cave in a purchase it over again? |
