Don't sweat it. If you look online in google search for "firewall port bypassing or "permission" hacking you shouls get hooked up but just read "how not to get caught" as well. You will need 3 programs from the web. Then run in them in the right order.

When I open Limewire, I get this message:

"ERROR - LimeWire was unable to set up a port to listen for incoming connections. Some features of LimeWire may not work as expected"

I can't connect whatever I do and it's really frustrating. I just get Quality - Connecting all the time.

Seems to me this is a bogus and phoney money grabbing site. I have paid and got NOTHING out of it. Will not connect no matter what I do.

HELP...I downloaded Limewire Pro and used it the 1st night I had it. Now it is a few days later and I continue to get Empty search results even for titles I know are available.

Help, anyone?

It looks like hundreds even thousands of people are having trouble with connecting along with myself.

Why is it so complicated to get it to work

Very dissapointed with LimeWire

help! im having problems on connecting too. ive had limewire for 3 weeks and im doing fine but when i used it now for searching it says:
"Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network."
ive done any possible thing to fix this but i still get that message and i cant get any download results! HELP!

I downloaded limewire last night. I used it for only one session and then today when I launched, I couldn't get past the Tips dialog box before the application "unexpectedly quits."

I am on a powerbook G4, running 10.3.9

I have read the suggestions from the forums (deleted preferences folder, relaunched, didn't work; I checked my firewall set up and made sure the Gnuttella was checked, no luck; I even downloaded the software again and reinstalled without any luck)

I haven't tried installing Java because the links I found we're confusing---i didn't know what to download and when I picked somthing, I didn't seem to see MAC OSX option.

Anyway, can someone help? I don't know what to do to fix this.

thanks

i have a dial-up connection and windows 98.. i can't do any searches and therefore can't download anything on limewire because that green light thing keeps saying that i'm "connecting" and i'd wait forever and it only stays at one bar.. and it wont connect!! i tried all the deleting stuff.... and unclicking boxes or whatnot.. and it sure is not working for me. can anyone help please??????

I just purchased the 4.8.1 version and have performed all the recommended firewall fixes, but all I get anytime I attempt a search is a message that states the program is connecting and results will not be good until I am fully connected. I have also gone to the extent of turning off all the firewall on the computer and still get the same message. I have had the program say "Quality:Connecting" for over an hour now. I have high speed broadband DSL and I know it shouldn't take that long for the program to connect in order to use it. Are there any suggestions out there that might help me out?

I have exactly the same problem. I have disabled both firewalls, put LW ports into my Windows XP firewall and tried deleting my LW preferences folder... I am at my wits' end....

The only possible clues to my problem are that when I check the bug report I get a 'false' answer - and when I tried to access the 6346 webpage test it 'cannot be displayed'...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
