Linksys WiFi (No Connection)
 

Ok, I have a WiFi connection through a Linksys router. I have UPnP enabled and have tried adding the LimeWire ports to the router but to no avail. I've read your entire page that gives advice on connection problems but mine doesn't seem to be in there. Either that, or I haven't seen my issue posted yet. Could you please, please, please help? Why is WiFi such a pain?

Could you supply these details please...

OK... I see McAfee as being part of your problem...
Have a look at this thread and the links I have provided in the second post, these links are how some members fixed their McAfee issues...

If you still cannot connect after that, I can get the port forwarding instructions you need for your router...

And there maybe a few more fixes we can try...

But McAfee is a major contributor....;)
Also your ISP shapes...

Still nothin. I even added a port for LimeWire through McAfee.

Did you try uninstalling the three parts of McAfee that cause these problems...

I don't know how, that link didn't specify that information and I have a question. If I uninstall McAfee how will my computer stay clean of viruses?

This is what one member said he had to do and it has also worked for many others...

tried a lot of things regards mc afee, vista and LW. The only solution to keep you antivirus and run Lime wire without problems is:

1.- go to control panel
2.- uninstall programs
3.- select mc afee
4.- uninstall firewall, privacy service and spam killer
5.- restart you computer and you'll be able to conect to internet and use Lime Wire at the same time as well as you internet explorer.

I had to call mc afee to figure this out cuz was been a pain in the a.... this problem and this is the only solution that they have for now until they fix those compatibility problems with vista, mc afee and LW.

Hope this work for you folks!!!

So it's only the Firewall the Spam killer and the Privacy Service...

The AntiVirus will not be affected...

Alright, I'm restarting. Here goes nothin...

HAHA, whaddya know, it worked. I just hope I don't get screwed over somehow. Anyway, thanks for all your help.
