| Here are mine as well. I have tried every tip in this forum and nothing works !!1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Win XP Home 2. What firewalls you have? PC Tools Firewall Plus (enabled LW) 3. How much ram? 1/2 GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 40 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Siemens SpesdStream 4200 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. LW4.12.14, Java 1.5.0_06 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Windstream 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? Time out 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? no 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Installed PRO recently LW worked for 3 days then my whole internet quit while using LW and I had to reinstall both my ISP and LW 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?UPnP Enable (tried manual, as well) 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Norton Internet Security 200516. 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). USA |
