Help me connect in a complex!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hi guys

I live in an apartment block and I have a network point in my room to access the internet, but I cant get Limewire or any torrent mangers to connect. The cable runs from the wall to my pc. I also disabled all firewalls and I do not have access to a router since the internet runs through the entire block. Please help me solve this problem!!!!

Have you ever been able to connect with p2p apps? Do you know if any other people in the complex can use p2p without a problem? Please give us your details.
System details - help us to help you (click here)

Try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. change LW's listening port to 64049 > apply > ok. You can also try other ports in the range of 49152 - 65535.

Do you know which ISP the block uses? There could be a firewall associated with the block's internet setup...talk to whoever's in charge of the internet there & see if they can help you out;)

Have you ever been able to connect with p2p apps?
Not on this cpu yet, setup the internet yesterday.

Do you know if any other people in the complex can use p2p without a problem?

No, not sure.

I am aware some ISP's in South Africa are not friendly to p2p users. Don't know if yours is one of those. Also as Birdy pointed out, it can be a little complicated when trying to connect via an appartment network. Since you have no access to the router, you don't know what type they are using or the settings. There's a chance you are firewalled by the router without UPnP or port forwarding abilities. Which means the default port LW uses is definitely being blocked by something. Either the ISP or the apartment router. BTW did you configure your XP firewall? -> Windows Firewall - LimeWire

Try Birdy's suggestions above. But not only with the listening port, but change setting to Port forward & change Connection port also to one between 49152 - 65535 such as 64049. Some others to try are: 1111, 3500, 4008, 1203, 10000, 15189, 80, 443, 427, 20282, 22817, 34599, 40475, 65530, 6295, 8360, 19515, 20285, 22091, 25079, 26394, 33307, 33049, 42628, 52343, 51002, 50012.

lord of the rings why are you ignoring my email?? Please i really need help. I know your probs a bit bored of me but i dont know what to do......please!!

I don't normally ignore people, but I do tend to be a bit busy. Your other thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post291178
As WW sugggested, the problem may be your ISP. Try WW's suggestions. Also try Phex to see if you have the same problems. You will probably need to make firewall exceptions for Phex also. ;) Another alternative to try is Where to get the “real” BearShare. :)

WW?
is Phex like Limewire but different?
should i do the java uninstall reinstall different version thingy. If so, could i have the link????
