In my 2nd last post, there's a link which describes & has samples at bottom of page about how to find .limewire folder. However, if you're new to LW & version 4.10 is your 1st version then see my last post. ie: Search for limewire not .limewire & you should find it within the Application Data folder ("IF" you set your search to show "hidden" files & folders before you do the search! Otherwise your search won't find it!)

HELP, I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING ON THE CONNECTION PROBLEM LIST AND STILL CAN NOT CONNECT,I HAVE NORTON FIREWALL WHICH I WENT AS FAR AS DELETING IT COMPLETLY FROM MY COMPUTER AND I STILL GET MESSAGE FIREWALL BLOCKED.

I tried the fix and still cannot get connected??? The windows fire wall appears to be blocking (getting the same error message as some of the other postings) even though I am allowing the limewire content on the exceptions. As for the fix on the website, due to the firewall I can't start lime wire to get to tools option to locate the port. Any other ideas?

It appears from you post that yours is a install problem since you say you can not get it to start to get to the tools option try following the instructions below.

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

We are going to need a little more info from you.

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.

Grandpa, It worked! Back up and running. Thanks for your help.

On Dec. 27th I purchased the limewire for 18 bucks. Today I went to use it and couldn't get connected. I had to re-install the program again. It didn't work so I went to the web-site to contact the company and it asked for my email address. I typed it in and came back invalid. I then went to my bank account to make sure the payment was sent and received and it was on the 27th. SO how can I get a hold of a company rep and get this issue with getting connected fixed?
SOmeone plz email me at: reconron3@hotmail.com? Thanx.

Ok I have had this problem for awhile where I'll be downloading at upwards of 250 kb/s depending on the number of files, then they all stop and I lose connection to limewire after 5 minutes or so, I have port forwarded etc and nothing works. I have done the test where you leave limewire open for 20-30 minutes and do the bug test and the result is false.

I am running XP with SP2
512 DDR
120 gig hardrive
D-Link DI-604 router
Speedtouch 510 highspeed modem
ISP: kw.igs.net, DSL 1 meg service
running javaw 1.5 or what ever it is
running Limewire 4.10 and Frostwire 4.10 aswell
Windows firewall is enabled
I have a nVidia network card firewall enabled
the test works
