![]() 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 ![]() ![]() Your Home Hub has a firewall & your ISP have a history of traffic shaping & possibly blocking p2p. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hlight=homehub 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. http://www.portforward.com/english/r...b/Limewire.htm |

![]() See if there's any info about finding the Home Hub's IP here. http://www.frequencycast.co.uk/homehub.html Otherwise, have a look on Google...you might find some info ![]() |
