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. 4.12.11 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Toucan 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' appears 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. new problem with sort of experienced user 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes, but it has always been there and not made any difference i have had limewire and frostwire for a very long time, and all of a sudden neither of them can connect, any help or advise would be greatly appreciated cheers chris |
Hi Chris, Toucan are Tiscali resellers. Heaps of people have had trouble with their Tiscali connection lately (even after having no probs in the past). Check out the post below & see if any of that info helps. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/262536-post2.html You could try reinstalling Java. You don't say which version you're using but try this one. Remove your old Java version before you install the new one;) Use the JRE offline installer. Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 You could also try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 below (also point 2 if you've used much older versions of LW in the past). This will kill all of your settings within options...you'll have to go back through & reset things afterwards! Fixes for LimeWire If the problem is with your ISP, there's no guarantee that these fixes will help. They're just fairly easy things to try:) |
