Help a tard with connecting
 

This is my first attempt to use lime wire just purchased it a few minutes ago. I have tried everything I could to get it to work but can't.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Win xp pro
2. What firewalls you have? Windows
3. How much ram? 1gig
4. Hard Disk space available? 48gig
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? don't know
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.12.11 java 1.50_09
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? pinncom.com
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? [B******ed[/B]
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. 1st try
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes I do

13 hits and NO replys?

firewall
 

fire wall disabled still have a wall in front of globe icon?:bangh:

20 hits and no replys...................breaktime!

The brick wall in front of the globe means there is some firewall interfering with Limewire. Have you configured your firewall to allow Limewire access to the internet? You should tell us what modem/router you have, as these can have built in firewalls. Your answer to question 10 is not clear. Could you clarify your answer?

Good Luck :idea:

10 it worked

frostwire works fine and I didn't PAY for it.

My modem is WESTELL

Sorry, I'm not very good with connection troubles, but see if this link helps:

Have you configured your XP firewall to allow LW access to the internet?

Dano

it shows up as lynsys instaed of westell

You probably have a Nat Firewall in your modem/router....So if you have a look under it, it will have the info we need to give you the instructions to port forward....We need the make and model number...
