Hello,
I Own Limewire Pro. But It Does Not Work On My Laptop. It Works Fine On My Desktop, But I Need It On My Laptop. Cow Do I Contact Limewire? Somebody Please Help Me.

Hi there

I've just started to experience this connection issue today (15.5.07 ) - I tried various posts above ( removing Java updates, deleting the limewire directory etc ) but none worked for me , so I started to look at this issue in greater depth as I am luckily an iT Specialist.

My issue is soley down to a new Windows update that I install on a particular PC only today !

When I removed this "update" Limewire worked immediately !

The Windows update in question was...

Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)
A security issue has been identified in Universal Plug and Play that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it.

Try this solution by use of the add/remove option naturally in your Control Panel, should you find like me, having tried the other solutions posted here that LW still doesnt connect

Hope this helps
RW

If you're still within their 6 months of support, find the Pro support link at the top of this page: Lime Wire » Support

and what if you have vista and its not working and you have tried EVERYTHING in these posts. I have the PRO version of Limewire and it will not connect at all

1. Check the Vista section. 2. And probably more valid is, remove all your versions of Java & install Java 1.5 instead; Java 1.5 (take the JRE) (about 4th on the list) and choose the "Offline" installation which is about 15 MB download.

Oh hold on you can't connect, perhaps I am jumping the gun a little for the 2nd suggestion. Check the Vista section & Sticky. If no help, then answer 6_pac 's question above about system details. We can't help you much without them. We can't see into your home or have ESP. lol

My limewire keeps telling me that it can detect a firewall but i turned evrytin off: antivirus, firewall. and then no hosts come up on the connection screen

Hello,
1. OS version? xp sp2
2. What firewalls you have? zone alarm
3. How much ram? 512mb- dont see how this is relevant?
4. Hard Disk space available? enough 4gig, + 4gig
5. Connection type? DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? netgear dm111p
7. Where are you trying to connect from house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.12.11 1.5.0
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? AAPT AUSTRALIA
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? yes
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. no
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st try getting LW working- experienced.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? no its red

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? dont have the option on my modem..

also forgot to say that i followed the Zone alarm FW instructions, ran javaw.exe, and it did nothing in ZA.
Added it manually no luck, disabled the firewall and enabled the windows xp sp2 on. added the port as described on the webite, still no luck.
Any ideas??

THe problem is probably then either your modem/router or ISP. Most high speed modems/routers have internal NAT firewalls. Can't help you without further details as requested many, many, many times in this thread & forum rules.
