LimeWire was working, but now I get an error msg "Could not find a port to use for incomming connection. Please specify a port from the configuration window".
Can someone help me with that? (OS is WinXP.)

i used to get that error message when using LW 1.6. it seems there was a glitch there somewhere. i can't remember what they told me to do, however, i found that if i hit "download all" instead of "download any" the download would begin with no error messages. hope that helps!

Thanks, but no help.
I can't connect at all. I get a basic screen, but unable to do a search.
I am able to get to Gnutella via the Start, Run, Telnet 64.61.25.171 6346 method.

I'm also unable to connect and get the same "Could not find a port to use for incoming connections. Please specify a port from the configure window" message. Tried the Start/Run Telnet test (it works) and the File>Connect and can't get a connection. I'm using Norton Internet Security and told it to always allow Lime Wire to connect. OS is Win95. Has anyone else had problems with Norton I.S.? I've tried turning it off completely but no change.

Kath,
Nothing in the view tab>connections.

I'm using McAfee virus/firewall.
LimeWire was working fine one day and I started getting the error message the next. No rhyme nor reason. I removed it and reloaded it and it did the same thing.

KathW (and others),
I think I found the problem. I must have inadvertently excluded it from my "allowed list" in McAfee firewall. Not sure how that occurred, though. Seems to be working as advertised now.
Thanks for your input,
Robert
