Try highlighting the files one at a time and click resume that should start a search for the file if LimeWire can find any sources it should start downloading. Only do 1 or 2 at a time if you do to many at once it could cause your connection to become unstable

Things are finally working! thanks.

i hope this gives you all you need to know...

Test #10 says your port is blocked it is probably your wireless router. The link below is the page you need to start on for your router you will need to setup a static IP address first just follow the instructions.

airport express/ extreme
 

Could the reason I can't connect to Limewire have anything to do with the fact that I am connected through Airport Extreme and Airport Express routers? I've done everything else thats been suggested and nothing seems to correct the problem. Any thoughts?

Re: for those who can't connect
 

Hey im not shure if this will wurk, but i cant even install because limewire disconnects my internet as install it, i am currently running Windows XP And have a wireless Router and Wireless Connection, it works hardware now what is da deal with the wirelesss, why wont it work and is there any patches or solutions u have for this problem

1. Install Java 1st: Fixes for Limewire

2. Get the "Offline" installer version of LW.

3. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

BTW most wireless routers/modems have NAT firewalls. So unless you have UPnP abilities you may need to manually port forward.

I have turned off the firewall and currently it is still disconnecting me from my network, what is wrong with it?


Also what do you mean by port forward?
