1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? 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? 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? 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? 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). |

![]() Your Router does have a Nat Firewall, so give Port Forwarding ago... These are your instructions... Port Forwarding for the Linksys befw11s4v2 Also try deleting the limewire preference folder (if port forwarding doesn't work)...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened... ![]() Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should

![]() Thanks for the help but that did not work either. As I stated in my original posting, there is no reason this should not be working in my environment when I disconnected my router and went straight form the cable modem to my computer with just Windows XP frshly formatted (all updates), java installed and Limewire. No Norton, Windows Firewall, etc. This does however work on my laptop when i plug it into my cable modem directly. On that note, since the computers have the same software installed, I can only conclude that the Mac address or computer name must be blocked somehow by Limewire. Thanks anyways. |
