![]() If I put this in the wrong place, please tell me, as I'm not 100% sure it goes here. ___________________ 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) I have Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Umm...I believe Norton 3. How much ram? 512 MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 40.2 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Sorry, don't know. 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? My house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. I have the latest version of Limewire, but since I can't get onto LimeWire, I don't know my Java. 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Sorry, don't know that either 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Your test worked! 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. My DSL is connected to two other computers. My computer is arond 10 feet away from the DSL. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem. I have used Limewire since probably 2 years ago. Never had a problem until now. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342 I can't even get onto LimeWire 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Sorry, no idea. 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ![]() Norton AntiVirus ---- I double click my Limewire icon on my desktop. Then, the LimeWire thing pops up and it is about to show that it is loading LimeWire, but it then disappears. I check my taskbar and such and LimeWire isn't there, but it usually is. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling LimeWire from the limewire website, but that doesn't work. I have restarted my computer, and that doesn't work. |
