 Been using LW for years...suddenly firewalled 1. OS version? Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? HAD windows and Kaperksy...removed EVERYTHING, still firewalled 3. How much ram? not sure 4. Hard Disk space available? 48.2GB 5. Connection type? cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Terayon TJ 715 (Comcast) 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..14.8 Pro; Java 1.5.0_06 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast 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? It said "Your test worked!" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. no 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've been using LW for years. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes- tried listing as exeption, adding ports, removed the virus software (it was outdated anyway...) Nothing is working. The computer I'm using is wired to the modem...however I also have a wireless router connected to this computer ...Lynksis...I couldn't find a firewall program on the Lynksis router to make LW an exeption... 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? No clue. 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall  Just removed all...will set up new one later...just trying to get LW to work right now16. 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). Live in the US. Any help is appreciated...been trying to solve this for weeks...uninstalled and installed LW several times seeing if I was missing the check box that asks to make LW an exception to firewalls...This was never an option. I'm lost...   |

| Try these fixes... Your Java is a bit outdated... Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version.... Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder/s... Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should Also it could be your Linskys router, if the above don't help could you tell me the model number so I can give you Port Forwarding instructions...Many Linskys have Nat Firewalls within...
