You must of purchased from a scam site as the official Pro costs $18.88 with 6 months of free updates and support, onece your 6 months is up you can either keep the version of Pro you have or you can re-purchase at a discounted price and recieve another 6 months...

So you see there is no 4 year subscription...

With your connection problems could you supply these details please...

Default Connection problems

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did not download Limewire from anywhere but the official website LimeWire . I paid about £60 for 4 years subscription, I don't know what that is in US $ and then after a short while I paided extra to upgrade to LimewirePro because of it being quicker to download. When I got it over 2 years ago there was various packages I could opt for and the four year one worked out the best value in the long run, thats why I got it. I don't use unofficial websites for any purpose. I don't know what the subscriptions are now as I have not bothered to look as I am not going to pay again for something I have already paid for.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) - Windows Xp Home Edition
2. What firewalls you have? - McAfee/AOL
3. How much ram? - 512 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? - 58.1%
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) - DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?- BT Voyager 105
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? - House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. - Version 6 Update 1
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? - AOL
10. 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? - Your test worked!
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. - No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. - A new problem
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? - Yes

Sorry to tell you but these scam sites are very good at making things look official...There has never been a subscription to Pro that is longer than 6 months and limewire basic has always been free...So you should never have been charged what you where charged...
Membership? - **WARNING ** BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites

get your $$$ BACK!!!(music members)

Firstly I notice that you have 2 firewalls, you need to disable one of them as running 2 will not protect you more in fact it has the reverse effect..

I would suggest kepping the McAfee and disbling the entire AOL security package it is known to cause conflict with limewire and maybe a recent update has caused this to happen...
This is the instructions to configuring limewire and McAfee correctly..
Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center

The recent Java 6.1 has also been causing many conflicts, so try rolling back to the 5.11 JRE offline version....(4th down)
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

Default Limewire not connecting

Hi, thanks again for your post regarding my Limewire problem. I have done all that you said, I've rolled back to the older version of Java, configured my McAfee (Which was configured right anyway), I've also removed LimewirePro and downloaded the free version and still all I get is 'connecting to network' and 1 bar at the bottom of the Limewire screen, it doesn't go more than 1 bar..when before it used to go turbo almost straight away.

I've defragged, restored, checked my internet connection and everything thing else I can think of. I've not changed any settings on my computer so I'm baffled to why my Limewire just decided to stop working.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
