Ill have to look into it more, my father may have changed it when it was hooked to a different computer in our house or something. Is there a way to manually reset it?

Oh, and no one else uses my computer. Or knows how to use it, for that matter.

I do not know of a way to reset the password on the router if someone has put in a new password only they can change it. Admin is the default password and if that doesn't work then someone has changed it.

Default still cannot connect

Have deleted, reinstalled about 100 times and I still cannot get on. I have had problems ever since I went Pro. Anyone who can help me either get back on or delete pro completely and get me back to the old version I would be grateful. I have the old version at work on my computer and it works great...dummy me had to go Pro on my home computer and also do the 4.9 update and it has been nothing but a pain. Thanks

mrbenn use your operating system search engine to find .limewire; there's sample images of what to do at the bottom of the thread here: Fixes for Limewire

A little more Information is needed.


Can you give us a total description 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. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. 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?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* 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. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.
