12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Use to work, now doesnt after installing an additional Hard drive
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

its my roomates computer. worked fine, then installed additional hard drive which turned out to not work for some reason now LW doesnt run. he has the cable plugged into the router, then his pc. me and other roomate use wireless and can run limewire fine. i reinstalled LW, changed the port to the port mine is using, disabled firewall, enabled firewall, and nothing worked. dont know what to do next. thanks

1. Don't use the same port. It should be different.

2, Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If still doesn't work then:

3. Does your motorolla have UPnP abilities do you know? If not, then port forwarding is way to go PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall (find LW on the list, but set up static ip first, that is the most important step & must be done first before port forwarding.)

4. The drive might be the issue. If it's not working, reinstall the drive.

thank you! deleting the folder did it!
