Hi wondering why!
I will have to double check with my sis but i'm pretty sure originally she paid to get limewire just the basic version (we both had 4.8.1). Then she put it on my page for me but i don't think she downloaded again i think she just got it out of her folder or something.

Also our modem is a Speedtouch 530.

Thanks heaps :)

ok..Make sure you are not trying to run limewire at the same time on different accounts as this could be causing the conflict...

I might hand you over to 6_Pac I know he has helped people with there Ports when running on 2 accounts...

Because I'm not to sure if you both have to have different Port numbers or the same...I hope you don't mind...;)

I'll pm him now...

If you have LW running on two accounts at the same time they have to use different ports. They both can't use the same one. LW will choose a different port automatically when you start the second one. Where you might run into problems is if you haven't made exceptions for the other port through your firewall and router. It might connect on one account and not the other.

Directions to port forward your router: Port Forwarding for the Thomson/Alcatel SpeedTouch 530

Hope this helps :).

Thanks 6_Pac...;)

What Worked for Me
 

I had trouble for months (okay, I didn't make it a priority though) and tried everything I could find. I finally found this answer on a thread and it worked. It's quick and easy to try, so you might as well try this before you start uninstalling, deleting and all that other stuff.

In windows (I have XP)

Go to Start My Computer
Go to c:\programs\program files\limewire
then click (or double click) on the file that reads
limewire.jar
(and under it says executable jar file)

Once I clicked on that, i went through the short setup language thing again and it worked fine!!!!

Don't know what'll happen when i shut down again of course, so i'm cramming in some downloads now!

I just made a shortcut of that file to my desktop.

Oh ya, I heard it helps if you disable the "start limewire at startup option" from another thread.

So I'm going to post this in a bunch of threads in case it helps anyone else.

I got this advice from another thread so thank you to them!!

Hurrah!!!
 

Thankyou so much guys! I tried the executable jar file thing and now it works fine. :aweof:
Thanks for the instuctions for the ports to. I'll keep them incase i get stuck again. :idea:
One more thing this is my first time using the 4.12.11 version so i've never had the copyright message come up before...does this come up for every song? I'm assuming i just click yes?

Tools...options...searching...basic

Unselect 'Show license warning' :D

Dano

Thankyou! Everything is all good now :)

I have the same prob
 

I think you're on to something. I recently had a power outage and now I am also getting only one bar. It shows the number of files I'm sharing but I can't connect to anyone else. I also tried all the firewall fixes to no avail. I have never had a problem before. Hope you get a fix because I think it will help me as well.

Hey StolyDoly, did u try what fivekitten previously posted about going to the limewire executable jar file??? Its on the previous page of this thread and it worked really well for me...Sorry if u already did, just thought u might not have seen that post. :)
