![]() Hello, I've used LW for some years, but last week I tried a new version, which didn't work. Now I wanted to install the older version, but I cannot connect anymore. Who can help me please? 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP 2. What firewalls you have? NORTON (OFF) and Windows firewall 3. How much ram? 1GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 100GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) CABLE 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? MOTOROLA SB 5100E 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? HOME 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 4.9.0 PRO JAVA 1.5.0_11 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? WANADOO 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? I SEE THE TEXT 11.

For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? ???? 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ![]() 16. What country are you living in?
