![]() I've been using LimeWire for years. I used to have LimeWire Pro (4.2.6). I rebooted my pc. I reinstalled everything and decided to install LimeWire 4.12.11. I suddenly can't connect. I have Windows XP, Belkin router and McAfee Internet Security. I already disabled ALL firewalls but LimeWire still shows I'm behind a firewall. I tried BearShare and it worked (and then uninstalled it again ![]() Can someone please help me get LimeWire to work. Thanks! |

![]() What if my 'test page' worked (per previous note to check this page first for connection). there was no information or link to address if there seems to be some kind of communication- but there still is 'no connection' w/ Limewire. |

![]() I'm on XP and I had to search in a little bit further then the location you suggested, but I found the file and upon restarting Limewire after deleting said file it seems to be working fine again. An additional note I will add is that I had been able to connect on this system prviously. ![]() |

For LW versions 4.9.34 & later: In Windows it's C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\LimeWire. It's hidden by default, so you'll have to show hidden files & folders to see it. Instructions for deleting the preferences folder are in points 2 & 3 of this sticky. Fixes for LimeWire Last edited by birdy; March 24th, 2007 at 05:05 PM. |

![]() ![]() ![]() 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall (the one that came with it) 3. How much ram? 376 mb ram 4. Hard Disk space available? 1.66 GB on my (D) drive and 211 GB on my (:C) drive 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) dial up 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Agere Win Modem version 8.31.0.0, (I can't find a model number, the modem came with my computer 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House, but the connection is through the school board 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.12.11 (limewire) 1.5.0_11 (java) 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (hpedsb) 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 says your test worked than tells me the page is loaded leaving me on a white screen with "Your test Worked!" there in black letters. that's it. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. no, I have my own personal client number 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. It's a new problem, like I said earlier, limewire never used to act up until I had to reinstall it from a worm 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Most definitely, with zero connection and one green bar at a constant. |
