I Can't Connect - I Need Help
 

I'm having problems connecting, I've been using limewire for at 2 years. And just the other day my limewire stopped working. I can not connect. My info is:
1) Windows XP
2) Windows
3) Ram 256
4) Disk Space 10G
5) Cable
6) Netgear WGT624
7) Home
8) 4.8 Pro; 1.6 Java
9) Optimum Online
10) Your Test Worked
11) No
12) New problem experienced user
13) no blue globe, no brick wall
:computer4:

We can start by looking at Java as the 6.1 has caused some connection problems with many users latley...

Do you still have the old Java that was running fine with your 4.8 if you do uninstall Java 6.1 you can do this by going to Add/Remove programs...

Another member had the same problems and didn't have the previous Java he had been running with the 4.8, so he had to update to the latest version of limewire and run Java JRE 5.11...

Another issue is your router it has a Nat Firewall and if you had a later version of limewire the wall would be there in front of the globe...
Your best bet is to Port Forward to let limewire pass through...
These are your instructions..

I still can't connect
 

Hi I still can't connect. I noticed that my router does not have NAT Status dropped down. I also noticed that on my desktop icon it says 4.8 limewire. But when it downloads, it downloading the 4.10 limewire. I have JAVA 1.5 back on. What else can I do?:aweof:

Can you try this...Save your current limewire version's installer, save it to My Documents...That way you can re-install it after this if you want...
Download the latest limewire basic, use the badge in my link to connect to the official site....
Does limewire connect ??
Do you have the brickwall showing ???
What Java is it using ??

Would the name of the file be limewire.exe? I just want to keep the same skin format.
Thank You So Much:xeri_ok1ani:

I'm not sure, my installers are called installers...:confused: (because I changed them)
Just wait and i will ask around someone will know...;)

With some discussion, I still have no idea where the installer is for 4.8...

So try these fixes...
Try deleting your preference folder...

Also Optimum Online are known to shape p2p usage..Lotr has some tips on changing port numbers in this thread...;)

This is what I have in my Limewire folder, can you make out some of this before I delete something I'm not suppose to.

By mistake a tried to copy all of these files on to my documents folder but instead replicated them again on my search result. I tried to delete them but I was able to delete some and the others I could not. It said " CANNOT DELETE FILE: CANNOT READ FROM THE SOURCE FILE OR DISK"
It's funny on my desktop I have 4.8 limewire icon, but when I load limewire it says 4.10 limewire. I need my limewire. I do not want to lose my settings. Please help.
Thanks.

No what you are looking for is not in that folder...
It will be called limewirewin.exe and have the icon of the lime..(I finally worked it out)...

I do not see that file at all. This is all that I have. Can we somehow figure it out with what I have.
Thanks
