10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ (Your Test Worked)
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. (no)

Here are the instructions to Port Forward your modem/router....

If you still have problems after port forwarding there's not alot more we can do to help, as Streamyx is a major problem at the moment...(as you can see in this thread)...

Guys

i'm experiencing the same problems. never had any problem before the Taiwan earthquake. Manage to get thru LW using jaring dial up service. Now, how is that possible, unless of course Jaring uses a totally different gateway route. (Sorry i'm nowhere near a techie)

My best bet is Streamyx does not allow for any P2P activities. Probably got pressured by those 'giants' from the music industry.

so i suggest we either sit back and sulk or we start pressuring Streamyx to buck up.But then again its always the numbers that count.

So you guys out there, stand up and be counted!

It seems a large majority of LW users in Malaysia are having connection problems. Does this problem still persist? I'm still can't connect from my LW. Anybody else still facing this problem in Malaysia? Is it only applicable to streamyx users??

EUREKA! LWire Pro finally connected today, just after receiving a lengthy, not so clear explanation e-mail from TMNet. Apparently, they are grappling with the sudden burst of P2P downloading/uploading which is consuming too much bandwidth which is not being uniformly distributed or something like that. If anyone wants to read the exact explanation, please request by posting here. Hope everybody else affected is now connected.

Yes, LW is back in Msia after a long rest.

However, the line is slow as crazy.....

Yes, Yes, relief at last for LW users via streamyx. Finally LW is able to connect after more than a month down. I was starting to get worried that we will never get to use LW again.
