I have been using Limewire since I heard of it and it has been a good service.

Now, I can not connect to the bleeding thing. Open it up, and what do you get ?? 1 Green Bar it is incredibly annoying as there are so many good tunes out atm that I want to download instead of spending £5.00 on in my local ASDA...!!

Can someone suggest any options to get this damn thing working???

Operating system is XP Service Pack 1

any other info you require just post reply !!!

Thanks, kind regards,

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Limewire is the only P2P sharing program on my machine. I don't share the connection with others.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? It's happened frequently now.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, but Z.A. is accepted all connections to Limewire
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I have the modem plugged in, with a ethernet cable connecting to the wireless router. I have a cable coming from the router to my computer.

Hope this helps.

Your ISP (Tiscali) is known to block p2p programs. Search 'Tiscali' in these forums and you will find lots of info. This explains why at sometimes you can connect and sometimes you can't.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info.

My ISP blocking what I want to use. Surely it is down to me to do this isn't it?
