Hi JSTJ1.
System details - help us to help you

Recently there's been a problem with people not providing enough details about their setup - despite being asked again & again.

So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:


1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX ) XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.?
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
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?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?


These are all contained within the sticky Connection problems? Check here first! but possibly some people are getting a bit confused or lost when we direct them to this sticky & ask them to provide their details.

This information can be vital
For instance, some ISPs are known for blocking p2p/throttling bandwidth, some connection devices are known for being unreliable in certain situations.

So please, help us to help you & provide as much info as you can.
If you're new to LW or new to computers & aren't sure how to answer some questions, or don't know what an ISP or router is - just say so. Nobody's going to yell at you:wink:
Even if you can't answer all the questions in one go...don't worry. Do the best you can & we'll take it from there.

Sorry friend I cant find any reports on hugesnet for shaping P2P so
Can you ring your ISP (Internet Service Provider) & ask if their modem has
a built in firewall ?
Also at the same time, ask if they shape P2P file sharing programs, dont let
them fob you off, if they say no, Ask For it in writing, If they do they will
usualy come clean at this point.
Please Confirm XPfirewall is disabled, AT, Start/Control Panel, double click on
windows firewall, n Disable. uncheck,(Dont alow exeptions) if ticked.
Please get back to us it helps others.
Peace.

They said huges used a firewall but it's disable by defluat. I asked them if they allow p2p sharing they said I can shar files and folders on the internet

I asked them why limewire is being firewallled I have windows connections firewall disabled and norton allowing limewire and I told then it's still being firewalled. They said hughesnet does not firewall lime wire I need to contact limewire

I don't have windows security center for like firewall and stuff but I checked my internet connections and it was firewall disabled. So I don't know whats firewalling me lol
