![]() Hehe. Oops, sorry. I knew that I needed to give more information... ![]() 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98,XP.SP2. )? Vista 2. What firewalls you have? Just a basic Windows Firewall that came with the computer. 3. How much ram? 446MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 54.9 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)? Router.. does that count? It's probably a broadband connection, I think. 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Where on earth do I find that?! Any hints? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Appartment complex. 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Limewire 4.12.11, Java 1.6.0 oem 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? I can't figure that out because technically I don't have the internet. My laptop is routed to another internet connection and I don't know who their ISP is. 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? It won't load. It says my connection has timed out. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Weeell, as I mentioned several times... I'm using a router (I think.) I just go to "connect" at my start menu and it connects me to open, unprotected computer networks in the area. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. It's a new problem, I've used Limewire before, but never with this computer. It's a new computer. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? I most certainly do. Err, that means my firewall is on I guess? Is that bad? |
