![]() 1. OS version? Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have?Windows Firewall and CA Firewall 3. How much ram?Uh, idk what it means. 4. Hard Disk space available?Alot 5. Connection type? Broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?Uhh... 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. Limewire:4.14.8 Java:1.6.0_02 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?Westell, or Cannon Valley? 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?The page can't be displayed. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No, I'm not. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've tried downloading it before, but it did the same thing as it is now. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?Yes, I do. And all of my firewalls are 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?Uh, I don't think I have one?? 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). In the USA. |

![]() Lolol The questions that you have answewred "huh" to shows that you are in deep trouble, you are going to have to learn about them or hire someone to sort your equipment out. OK, now you need to click the link below and follow the instructions to Bmxguy in my previous post. However, may I suggest that you dig out your modem manual first of all and read through it two or three times or at least until you can understand what you are reading: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post285776 Good Luck UK Bob |

![]() Methinks you are a bit rough there, buddy. Everybody is a nooby at one point, and it is only the decent thing to do to be polite and patient. Actually, I don't think P2P activity is something noobies should be jumping into; Hell, you say ram and they say ewe. CPU? Oh, do you mean C3PO? Disk Space? Yea, I saw 2001... it was trippin.. Bytes/Bits? Wow, can we use handcuffs, too? And then they have to understand ports, routers, Hips software, and so on. UNderstanding how to query; recognising bogus crap right on the spot..., the value of bitzi; how big (or small) the file they're looking for should be; Configuring LW to compliment their broadband (or 56Kbs - ouch) service... Where and where not to let fellow p2pers pry; man, it must be just overwhelming for these virgins to roam the streets by themselves. Maybe, instead of flaming, you should have some prepared responses and suggestions saved in Notepad... where you could just paste ur answer, or redirect them to some of the excellent "tutorials" posted and linked to by some excellent moderators, ie, LordoftheRings. Hey, drugs ain't that bad, either, for taking the edge off things... (like your life). Personally, I just developed a craving for an ice cold pilsner... I'm running to the bar right now. |
