Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7.

Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 I installed the offline installer and it removed the old version. I restarted my computer and opened up LW again. I waited a few minutes for it to connect and i still could only to the first bar of connection. So I looked again for the LimeWire folder. The LimeWire folder still isn't there. I don't understand why not. I even tryed typing it in at the top but it just says: Cannot find file C:\Documents and Settings\*username\Application Data\LimeWire. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct. since that didn't work, i tried the port forwarding again. I got past that part, (thanx for the help) and finished the port forwarding. I went back on to LW and restarted it. I gave it a few minutes to connect, but im still stuck at bar one. this is getting ridiculus! Thanx for sticking with me,  |

| New tech geek My children are dragging me into the 21st century. I'm a school teacher that has just purchased an iPod and now wanting to download "stuff". I have recently downloaded LW. It worked for about a week. Then for some reason my Internet got disconnected. I reinstalled that and ever since then I cannot get more than one bar on the connection. I have the latest JAVA. I have tried all the tips from the "Lord of the Rings" person. The only thing that I can't get to work is the password when I'm trying to put in the new IP code thing. (I know, I'm using such great technical term). Can anyone help me. A willing student. |

| Don't uninstall LW via add/remove programs, it can cause problems. The way to uninstall a version is to either reinstall a newer version (uninstalls the old one automatically) or go start > all programs > LW & use the uninstall option. Have you tried any other ports in the range that I gave you earlier? If you change port numbers again, remember that port number forwarded within your router will also have to change. Try Frostwire, see if that connects. Some people who's LW will never connect have had success with FW. Don't ask me why. If you want to try, this is the official site for download. FrostWire.com » Official Website & Free Download « Or try BearShare. Use the version that Aaron recommends here. BearShare has been sabotaged. The only other thing that I can think of is that AT&T have started blocking p2p for you right now (apparently they do that sometimes). Read Aaron's posts in these threads for more info. Router Blocking Limewire! no connection. help please!! Firewall/Proxy Settngs http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...379#post202379 Just for the record, these are other things that soccerblonde has tried: Installing JRE 1.5.0_11 Reverting back to LW 4.12.6 Making sure that LW wasn't running in Task Manager before deleting prefs. |

| I had the same problem that you guys have. Mine was solved by my son-in-law. You have to remove the Limewire program from Add/Remove program and you have to delete all entries in the registry that relate to Limewire. Ctrl F can help you find Limewire entries. Then download a new copy of Limewire and Va la! you are in business. The firewall will still show on the icon but you will get all five green bars. |

| I installed both FW (i really like this verion but still was stuck at bar one and got the same message when i searched) and BS (i didn't like this one and i don't know what was wrong with it, whatever i searched for, no messages popped up and niether did and search results) Im going to try the other suggestions and post back. btw, should i try art_lover24's suggestion? (no offense) Last edited by soccerblonde; June 29th, 2007 at 10:45 AM. |

| Sorry about that, I read somebody else's system details instead of yours (there were a couple of other posters in this thread). So ignore that AT&T info. I've never heard of Telus blocking p2p. Did you ever try any any other port numbers? It would be worth your while to try, as it's an easy setting to change. What security programs are you using? Have you updated or upgraded any programs since your LW used to work? |

| ok no big d. i didn't upgrade or update and programs except the ones that either u or ww told me to or i have otherwise posted. I think the only security im using is windows firewall, but if there were any others, where would i find out? im going to try changing the port numbers and see if it helps |
