Ok, I'm going to try to be as specific as possible. I have a connection problem with Limewire (one bar, always connecting on connections tab). I am running Avast, Spybot Resident, and Windows Vista. What do I have to do? edit: bit more detailed 1. OS version? Vista 2. What firewalls you have? only what comes with Vista, Avast, and SD resident 3. How much ram? 2GHz 4. Hard Disk space available? 100GB at least 5. Connection type? cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? none 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? school 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.14.8 Java 1.6.0- oem 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? not a clue. 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? worked 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? nope 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. experienced. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? of course, but that's never stopped anything before. 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? laptop 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Avast 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
