![]() Yes, I am currently having problems connecting to limewire, and I cant figure out whats wrong, Im going insane. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Norton 3. How much ram? idk 4. Hard Disk space available? plenty 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) comcast(cable) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys 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. Newest version 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 works 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I have 4 computers on same router. Other linksys work for those, but not this computer 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. This is a new problem 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes 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). USA I deleted the .limewire folder. I disabled the tips thing I took off the auto connect thing I desabled windows firewall and put limewire as an exception for norton I really dont know what to do. Please help me!! ![]() |
