Do you actually work for Limewire?

I want to download the old Limewire.

No we are all volunteers here in the forum post what problem you are having and try and be polite about it. And we may be able to help you fix it.

So, Grandpa, is there anything I can do to connect? I really want to use Limewire, and I'm sure it's some little thing that I need to do and everything will start working great... I just need to figure out what that one litte thing is...

We are going to need a little more info.

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98)
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 (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. 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?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.

First click on the link below and see if UPnP is enabled on you router if it isn't then enable it.

I went through those steps and the UPnP button was not checked, so I guess I enabled it by checking that box and continuing. But then I just opened LW and tried to connect and didn't get anything. I changed the LW firewall settings to UPnP and tried it again to no avail. I didn't change the "listen on port" from 6346... Let me know if I should've...

Try re booting your computer you do not need to set the listening port on limewire. If it doesn't work you may have to port forward let me know are you sure the other firewalls are off

Hi,


download patch frm the following link:

http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools

You will get excellent connections.

I rebooted and still get no connection. I verified that the Windows firewall and the Trend Micro firewall are both off. I don't see a way to turn the firewall off on the router, but like I've mentioned before, when I connect to my wireless network w/ my work laptop I have no problems. I've tried looking at the settings on that computer but it's set up differently since it's got corporate security, firewalls, etc...
