I've tried everything (1 green connection bar)
 

After hearing about LW from my friends i decided to try it, but i only get that one little green bar.:bangh: I've read the forums and found nothing that has solved my problem. My friend has the same internet service, modem, and router and he can use LW.


1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP SP 2

2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall - turned off

3. How much ram? 256 MB

4. Hard Disk space available? 10 GB

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Modem-Westell 6100, Router-Linksys BEFSR41 v.4.1

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school,
student accomodation, work, etc.)? 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. LW 4.12.11 , Java 1.5.0_09

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Verizon DSL

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. Sharing internet with another computer and an Xbox 360.

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. First Try

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, and no known firewalls running

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
Port Forwarding wouldn't let me get on the internet, and is UPnP same as UPnP Forwarding?:blink:


Plz Help....:youmakemecry:

Try this unplug your router and connect directly into your modem, because both your modem and router have Nat Firewalls....

Then try port forwarding your Westell 6100, these are your instructions...

Let me know if this helps....

Oh!! What a Gay Day:yeah_2::yeah_2::yeah_2::band::kool:

I connected my computer to the modem and port forwarded and i still have the little brick wall and one green bar... and when my modem is connected to my router i can't get to the port forwarding configuration on the modem.

Ok...Let's leave the router out of the equation at the moment and just work on the modem...Unplug the router again...Make sure you used the same one number for each box in the instructions and that you also entered that same number into the manual port forward box and listen box and then selected apply in Limewire...

So you have Port Forwarded the modem...Yes..

Now try these fixes and see if they help...
Uninstall your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.12 offline version....(4th one down)
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5


If that does not help try deleting your preference folder...

If you still have no luck, what security do you have on your computer...

Risky Rick, your other post has been answered...

Got it to work, turns out i had Norton internet Security on my computer and i didnt even know. i uninstalled it ,which i dont think i shoulda done, but it works.Thanks for all your help.

You didn't need to uninstall it...
Re-install it and follow these instructions, their for configuring limewire and Norton...;)
