Connection Firewall Problems
 

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP SP2
2. What firewalls you have? The known ones are Norton and Windows both turned off
3. How much ram? Unsure
4. Hard Disk space available? 93.1GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Unsure
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.12.6
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Tiscali
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? Your Test Worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Nope
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I am fairly good on computers so i can understand SOME terms
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes i'm assuming its a firewall problem

The two known firewalls Norton and Windows are both off yet it still says firewall is blocking it. Now i know of no more and it ain't been working the last two weeks. Bar once when it went really slow!

Please help!

Tiscali are known to block p2p in some area's and latley alot more people are comming to the forums with the same problem, with Tiscali being their ISP...
What you could try is Port Forwarding, so if you could provide your modem/router details we could get the instructions and go from there...

You will find the info needed if you turn your modem upside down it should all be underneath it...:rolleyes_2:

Ok its called Speed Touch 330 does that help?

There are no instructions for the 330 at portforward.com, but you could try the 536, that's the one I have and they are more than likely the same...
I really think your problem lays with Tiscali http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hlight=tiscali but give this ago anyway...

You really need to follow the instructions exactly especially the static IP part, as if you miss a step it will not work...:rolleyes_2:
