Connecting.....
 

I've tried installing Limewire multiple times but it still cant connect. I've off my firewall (because it says theres a firewall prob even though I've let Limewire through my firewall) but it still says there a firewall problem and when I go to the connection tab its is running through a list of connections saying Connecting... but they disapear before they reach 0 seconds on the time colum.
What do I do? It was running before and I have a windows XP.

If nobody's around to answer your question...use the search button. Look through past threads:eek: :rolleyes:

Your Home Hub has a firewall & your ISP have a history of traffic shaping & possibly blocking p2p.

Don't run without a firewall. Double check the XP firewall config.

Change LW's listening port to 64049, or something in the range of 49152 - 65535. Tools > options > advanced > firewall config.

You could try port forwarding for the Home Hub, the instructions are here.

I'm going to try port forwarding but I need to know my HomeHubs IP. How do I get that? I've checked my Firewall but the brick wall still appears infron of the globe?

See if there's any info about finding the Home Hub's IP here.
