![]() i have just bought a new laptop and downloaded limewire from limewire.com. I am living in university halls of residence, so connect through the university network, but on my old laptop I had no problems with limewire through the network, however with my new laptop, it's saying I have a firewall, even though I disabled windows firewall, and i have uninstalled Norton as I hate it!! Help ![]() |

![]() 2 problems I can see. 1. most uni's nowadays block or filter p2p sharing. 2. Disable your XP firewall; go to the control panel, double click on Windows Firewall, check the disable box / http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...842#post178842 (see links) Norton: * Configuring Norton Internet Security |

![]() So what version of LW were you using before on your "old" laptop dancing routine? (whoops ... silly joke!) Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 8. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 9. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 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? |

![]() Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I'm new and I've got a problem. I have a laptop, Windows XP, and it had limewire 4.8 (or whichever version came before 4.9), and it worked fine. Then, I downloaded the new version, and every time I try to open limewire, it just shows that opening screen and says, "LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire." Now, I need to mention that I'm not very skilled when it comes to computers. I tried a few things, like restarting and taking off the Windows Firewall. I took a look at the LimeWire help, and it only gives directions on what to do from the limewire screen... but not even that loads. I just get the logo and I have no idea how I'm supposed to configure it and stuff... ![]() Help!! |
