Hi guys, I'm in Malaysia and had been using LW via streamyx for about 2 years now, never had a problem. around the time of the taiwan earthquake i cant connect to LW anymore. Only 1 small green bar and thats it. have tried everything and read every threads posted here and came to 2 possible reason:

1. Broken cables caused by earthquake.
2. Streamyx is scaling down the bandwidth for P2P users.

Hey Guys,

Im another long time LW user in Malaysia, who at around the time of the taiwan earthquake have been unable to connect to Limewire.

i also get the message...LW is currently connecting to the network........
Previously i had no problems downloading, i havent changed any settings

i also have the brick wall and 1 signal bar.[Using Streamyx and router]

Its very frustrating....but i guess we are no closer to a solution

yeah unfortunately there are lots of longtime LW users in Malaysia (like myself) who suddenly unable to connect to LW around the time of the taiwan earthquake. initially i thot is my comp (which is weird cos i haven't change any settings at all) but after reading all the threads in this forum, i think i'm definitely not alone. its really either broken cables or streamyx problem.

super super frustrating really.....

Default Can't connect either and in USA

For the past week I have NOT been able to connect to MP3 Rocket PRO. I completely turned OFF my firewall, and re-booted but nothing...I get message that I am still behind a FIREWALL and gives me ONE bar of connection and that's it!!! I need info... I have recently upgraded my ISP to DSL Premium with static ISP. Could this be the problem? I am also using wireless router for a laptop, but problem is on desktop PC. Any info would be appreciated.

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)...
