 Connection issues I have used lw for 3 yrs now and it worked great when i first got it. now it decides when it wants to work and whether it is behind a firewall or not.  i rarely get a connection or any connection bars green in the bottom right hand corner.my spec is: OS; XP media centre F/Walls; windows and Avast- but both are set to allow limewire Ram; 1Gb H/D Space; 124Gb Connection; Wireless Broadband W/Router; netgear Connection;House Limewire; 4.12.11 Java;1.6.0_01 Newish problem with kinda experienced user And the firewall works when it feels like it... If this probem could be sorted out i would be really really pleased Thank you   |

 You shouldn't have two firewalls running, as they can interfere with each other. Who is your ISP? |

| Who is your internet service provider (ISP), i.e. what company do you pay for your internet? |

| Many ISPs shape the bandwidth of p2p users. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/202017-post38.html ::. Kitz - ISP Caps, FUPs and Prices .:: So...if you can't get it to work at all, you may want to switch your ISP. First, you could try port-forwarding your router. Select your model from this list. Then click on Limewire in the next list. PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall Good Luck  Dan |

| Check whether the problem is at your end. Just for the experiment, disable both XP & Avast firewalls. See if you can connect with LW. Give it plenty of time to try. If still no good, log into your Netgear & disable the NAT firewall (or set it to DMZ.) Try to see if it connects again. If not, then sounds like the problem might be your ISP blocking p2p programs or specifically LW. Another option is to try this gnutella program: Phex to see if you have the same problems. |
