![]() I am also having connection/firewall problems. My leaf connections keep getting kicked off for some reason. I have tried several things (mostly over my head) but nothing works. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) WINXP 2. What firewalls you have? WIN XP and Trend Micro PC-Cillin...both turner off 3. How much ram?not sure-bunch 4. Hard Disk space available?a lot-many gigs 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?modem Arris model CM450A router Dell truemobil 2300 model WX-5565D 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 4.12.15 PRO JAVA 1.6.0_01 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Classicnet.net 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? Your test worked 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I have a router hooked up to my computer and share internet with 1 or 2 other computers 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have used the free version before. It seems like it only works when I delete the program and reinstall it. But only sometimes 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, win firewall is off and Micro Trend PCillin is off 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? Don't know. My port number is 37782 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? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). USA |
