Sorry...this is beyond me. Bump your thread every now & again, somebody else might know what's going on.

I and a few friends are having the same problem; LW Pro was working fine a few weeks ago, now it's just stopped. Done everything as recommended, even had to purchase a NEW LW Pro as my first one was not registered in their database according to them. Also no response from their side. I thought it was the earthquake in Taiwan, but it seems to affect other users not affected by that sub cable damage.

This is just weird, guys...

hello guys....i hope to find a solution for my problem....i hope to get the response as i didnt it from anywhere else on this forum....i m a newbee here......

i have been using limewire from my home for 2 yrs now but now i have been shifted to mumbai for my job.....

am not a very big computer geek....i am using a LAN for accessing my internet at my workplace....and i desperately want to access limewire....i work in a company called "3i-infotech"........i dont know much info about networking or routers.......now the problem here is that when i install and open up the limewire window then it takes a lot of time to open up and after some time only 1 single bar remains green for infinite time....and i cannot connect to the peers.....please guide me how shall i operate it....i hope u ppl have immense knowledge about how to access it over lan internet connection.....i have tried checking what i have been told in the earlier posts to check the port 6436 and its showing "your test worked"......if u want to know anything more technical info then please tell me how to get that info from my computer like ISP....router n alll.......i dont know what all hardware my company is usin...

thanx in advance

please please help me out.

thanx a lot.

Gubru see if there's any firmware upgrades on your Linksys. Some devices may fail in UPnP mode or be unreliable. Particularly if it's an old or oldish model. But then, if it connects ok but suddenly cuts off it 'might' be ISP interference with special programs that block p2p programs as soon as they detect them. If you have a dial up option, see if you can connect with LW on that just to check to see if it works. (some isp's offer dial up also as a backup. I can connect via either if I choose. I simply need to change the net setting in my system.)

kamalis we need some more details: System details - help us to help you (click on link)

hi_shobhit76 yes as many details as you can obtain would be beneficial. Mumbai rings a bell in my mind that at least one ISP there blocks p2p (but I can't confirm that.)

1) OS...windows 2000 professional
2)there is a windows firewall and McAfee virus scan enterprise edition is installed but i dont think it contains a firewall.
3) 1 GB DDR RAM.
4) 4 GB in one partition and 10 GB in another partition...total 40GB hard disk
5)I dont know the what is the connection type in our company.....is there any way by which we can get to know the connection type withonly my single PC.....i dont want to ask to the higher authority ppl.

6)same as 5)
7) from my workplace
8)limewire 4.13.0.......java 1.5.0_10
9) dont know again
10) It says that "your test worked".
11) Yes, i am on LAN.

12)No i am an experienced user of LW but i used to do it from home earlier but now i try to access it through my work place i.e. office where i have a LAN as internet connection.

13) Yes....i see it....i think my windows firewall is still on.



please help me now guys...

I don't have a dial-up modem, and my ISP allows the other computer's on my router to access LW.

I thought about a firmware upgrade too, but I'm new to routers (used to be on a HUB), so how would I go about to doing that?

Gubru make sure you're not using the same port as the other computers using LW on your router. Consider port forwarding for just this one computer that's struggling.

hi_shobhit76 try varying your listening ports around in LW. Go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls. Port ranges between 49152 - 65535 are usually good to try. For XP firewall make sure you configured it to allow LW full access: Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Half the time, the other systems aren't even on; and I'm sure LW is using a different port.

But here's something weird: LW worked for all of three minutes: I had a firewall-less planet and FIVE GREEN BARS! I did a search for a song, and it got a few results, but a few minutes after that (when I tried a second search whilst the first was already going), it crapped out on me again and I got the ol' 1/5 bars. However, my planet remained *unblocked* by a firewall icon, which is new.

Interesting article here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...00348~start=60 although it doesn't really apply. Just an interesting read & potential issues for Telus.

Gubru is it possible for you to connect without the Linksys router? Just to see if the device is playing a part here.
