![]() Hi - getting no connection - here's my setup: 1. Windows XP SP2 2. I think the firewall for Netgear wireless router is switched on for incoming traffic. 3. 1 Gb RAM 4. 34Gb hard disk space available 5. Broadband connection (1MB) 6. Netgear Wireless ADSL Firewall Router DG834G 7. Connecting from home 8. Limewire version 4.12.6 Pro Java version 1.5.0_06 9. ISP is TOUCAN telecom (UK) 10. Test worked on port 6346 11. connection not shared - on wireless network from ethernet connected computer 12. Have used Limewire for years but possibly not yet with this ISP 13. THere is a Brick Wall icon on Limewire 14. UPnP is enabled on router 15. McAfee Security Centre (I think includes firewall) 16. Living in UK Please let me know solutions to get LW working!! Thanks |

![]() Toucan...ouch ![]() A few things to try, no guarantees though as there's a good chance your ISP is at fault here. If you have a McAfee firewall, make sure that the XP firewall is off & the McAfee's configured to allow LW. Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center Try this version of Java. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install this one. Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 Toucan resell Tiscali & heaps of people who use Tiscali (& Toucan) have had problems connecting/downloading. Have you tried connecting outside of peak hours (6pm - 11pm)? Read through some of these threads, try the fixes...changing ports has worked for a few people. I have found a solution to getting Limewire to work with Tiscali Tiscali blocking Limewire can't connect between 5pm-11pm Tiscali & Limewire Connection Problem - with Tiscali.co.uk You could try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you like, you can try port forwarding to get rid of the firewall icon. The instructions for your router are here. Port Forwarding for the Netgear DG834G Don't forget the step of setting up a static IP address first. LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router all have to be the same number. Last edited by birdy; June 23rd, 2007 at 08:39 PM. |
