![]() Urgent help required I have recently bought a new pc with xp (sp2) with the set up as below. Prior to that I was running with a 64MB cart horse and had a good relationship with LW (no problem with isp) no problems encountered. Now I have tried both 4.8 and 4.9 LW, manually dowloaded the latest Java (as advised by this forum). My firewall is configured correctly. All checks and tests are positive. When I run LW I get as far as the "loading user interface" screen and when asked for the download folder selection and I select "Browse" the whole thing stalls. It is using 100% of my CPU at this time. Description of my set up: 1. OS version? XP (SP2) 2. What firewalls you have? Zonealarm 3. How much ram? 512MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 64GB 5. Connection type? broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? DSL-210 7. Where are you trying to connect from: home 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.8 (have also tried 4.9) / Java 2 standard 1.5.0 (2005) 9. Who is your isp provider? CAT (Thailand) 10. This is a new problem with an experienced user. I was a regular user of LW and badly need it back. Please your best advice for a fix is urgently needed. |

![]() Hello everyone. Need some help and info. Sorry for the repost. I was trying to keep it in this forum, but kept creating new threads. What is the difference between www.kazaa.com and www.kazza.com? ... why is one free and the other one charges. I have down-loaded both and neither seem to work. From www.kazza.com I downloaded limewire (paid over $40) but have not yet made it work. Although I tried some of the remedies posted here (with my little knowledge of computers). Description of my set up: 1. OS version? XP 2. What firewalls you have? StopZilla 3. How much ram? 512MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 150GB 5. Connection type? cable/DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? (Linksys/2wire) 7. Where are you trying to connect from: home 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.8.1 9. Who is your isp provider? SBC Yahoo 10. First time user. 11. I also use Norton Anit-virus protection I also get a dialogue box saying my audio itune does not work. Any help to get them limwire and kazaa working would be much appreciated. Report Last edited by lion67; August 24th, 2005 at 12:00 AM. |

![]() lion67 I think you should see this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1 Chances are you paid $40 for the LW Basic version which is FREE from the official LW site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml www.kazza.com? sounds & looks like a scam site! For a start, LW no longer offers version 4.8.1 & hasn't for some time! Both those links took me to the same site. Disable your XP firewall: go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box. Configure your StopZilla by allowing LimeWire full access in the firewall rules. Are you sure your Norton is only an AV program & not also have a firewall option? 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? (BTW yeoldesage solved their problem by installing Java 1.4.2 instead (after uninstalling 1.5.) Communicated via pm.) |

![]() echo2347 You do have norton symatec and norton are the same. You may need to port forward your router. I also have a linksys and sometimes UPnP works and sometimes it doesn't. There is no switch. follow the instructions in the link below for port fowarding. http://portforward.com/ |

http://portforward.com/english/route...4/Limewire.htm I'm A+ certified, so you don't have to put it in complete laymens terms, but I really don't think it is nescessary to read that entire site. |

![]() Ok go to the 1st link and follow the instructions for setting up a static IP address. Then go to the second link and follow the instructions. This is assuming you gave the right router model there are several BEFW11S4 models. I can not make it any simpler than this so don't ask. http://portforward.com/linksys/befw11s4v1-dhcp.htm http://portforward.com/english/route...4/Limewire.htm |

![]() The instructions at portforward.com are very good. But if you're confused then you can use the following as a guide. 1. Setting up a Static ip instructions from Linksys support site & 2. Port forwarding instructions from Linksys support And don't forget to do this last of all; within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that. |
