Unfortunately your college has probably started blocking P2P nets. Allot of them have started blocking recently you probably should check with your school an see if they have started blocking.

Grandpa-
Looks like everyone's keeping you busy with their questions!
I went to make sure that the UPnP settings were enabled for my router, which is a D Link DI-624. I found instructions at this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;323713

But it was already enabled...

I am starting to think I am going to have to join the frustrated club with you. I can not figure out why your work lap top will work and the others will not have you checked the settings on the work laptop to see how it is set up.

Just an update. I was having a similar problem to those listed here. I adjusted my anti-hacker (from kasperski (great program!)) to allow limewire in the exceptions and now limewire works fine. Thanks for the assistance. Hope this may help someone else.

The new version of Lime Wire is complete ****, I had no problems with the older one but I was made to download the newest version.

I STILL CAN'T CONNECT. and I have NO Internet/Firewall problems.

I want answers.

Grandpa January 21st, 2006 03:38 PM

With that type of attitude I doubt you get any.

Yeah Right Ok January 21st, 2006 03:57 PM

Do you actually work for Limewire?

I want to download the old Limewire.

Grandpa January 21st, 2006 07:57 PM

No we are all volunteers here in the forum post what problem you are having and try and be polite about it. And we may be able to help you fix it.

So, Grandpa, is there anything I can do to connect? I really want to use Limewire, and I'm sure it's some little thing that I need to do and everything will start working great... I just need to figure out what that one litte thing is...

Grandpa January 21st, 2006 10:20 PM

We are going to need a little more info.

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? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
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.
