 Connection Problems Hi, About 4 weeks ago upgraded to 4.12 and sine installing my connection is hit and miss. Just sits at one bar and says connected to network. I have tried most things on the forum but still banging my head. I even un installed and when I re installed LW gives me the prompt that an older version is installed. I have searched my computers registry and cannot find the older version. My fire wall is been updated to allow LW. Can anyone help re this Regards Clive Sys Info: 1. OS version? (Windows XP SP2) 2. What firewalls you have? ( Kaspersky Internet security 6) 3. How much ram? (1024) 4. Hard Disk space available? (50 Gig) 5. Connection type? (broadband) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?(Netgear DG8340 GT) 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house) 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (LW 4.12.11 Java version 1.6.0_01) 9. Who is your ISP provider (Tiscali) 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here  It did and worked fine)11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? (No) 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. No about 18 months now 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?(Yes)  |

| I can see a couple of issues that may be causing this to happen... When you uninstall limewire you need to use the limewire uninstaller, you will find this if you go to Start > All Programs >Limewire...If you still have that option uninstall limewire again and re-install it using the offline installer (not the recommended one)... LimeWire: The Official Site for the Fastest File Sharing Program on the Planet Also another problem may be you Java, there has been a few issues with the Java 6.1....Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....(4th one down) Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 Also another issue I see  is your ISP..Tiscali are known to shape p2p users at certain times of the day...I think you may have popped up on their radar as a heavy downloader and that could explain why your connection seems to be worstening...http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-limewire.html http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...k-tiscali.html
