| Ok, I just noticed some other people seem to put this in: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP 2. What firewalls you have? Zone Alarm? 3. How much ram? 640Mb 4. Hard Disk space available? 17 Gig 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Wireless 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Haven't got a clue, don't know how to find out. 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_06 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Ihug 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? Page can not be displayed 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. There are two computers on our wireless connection, but only mine was connected at the time. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have used LW before, and it has been used before on this computer, but I haven't used it on this computer before. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Pass. 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall I think it's just Zone Alarm 16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). New Zealand Again, thanks. |
