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 (home, school, 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? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal) 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11.

![]() Grandpa- Looks like everyone's keeping you busy with their questions! I went to make sure that the UPnP settings were enabled for my router, which is a D Link DI-624. I found instructions at this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;323713 But it was already enabled... |

![]() Just an update. I was having a similar problem to those listed here. I adjusted my anti-hacker (from kasperski (great program!)) to allow limewire in the exceptions and now limewire works fine. Thanks for the assistance. Hope this may help someone else. Ace |
