Default Re: Re: new port

We all owe a large and extra warm thank you to Threadmaster, moderator extraordinaire, of the BearShare Forums for helping to help all of you LimeWire folks ! [/B][/QUOTE]

Certainly!

Thank you for the well explaining answer, but typing inn the new values did not help. i tried several numbers between ports 49152 to 65535.

I thought it might be my ISP that is blocking gnutella? So i tried iSwipe. It connects to OpenFT, Open Nap and Web Gnutella. The rest are staying gray. On iTunes i get "560 Users" but it is still gray. So this program can not connect to gnutella network??

I have played with every setting possible now. I'm out of ideas. Must be ISP.. Must be ISP...

Another interesting thing.

I tried again to download something, and limewire immediately disconnected. But then I noticed my internet connect was still sending and receiving so I left it one.

And with Limewire showing no connect, no hosts, no files, the file downloaded itself.

Hmm...


I think I'm giving up on Limewire.

Unhappy tried everything.....

I did what you said... I deleted it, all of it. Then it worked - it let me connect. I went off of it to go to another account (my husbands) and re-download it on his computer (he accidentally erased it). It wouldn't let me finish downloading-it came up with an error, AND when I went back to mine, it wouldn't let me connect again!!!!!!! It is very frustrating. Please help me !

Another link for those having problems with LimeWire 3.8.6...


Download and Re-Install LimeWire 3.6.15.

This may be a temporary measure for some of you to try.

This is 'good' news... I think

Many thanks to you fougere and to you Marcob for returning to report.

I hope that others will do the same, whether they are successful or not.

Tried to install 3.6.15.

When asked where to install, when I selected my hard drive, it said "Cannot install software on this volume. (null)".

Don't know what that means, other than I can't install it. I removed my current version of Limewire first, am I missing something?

thanks.
