![]() Hi, i have used limewire for years and i recently got a new computer and my initial limewire setup on this new computer worked fine until i began messing with the option settings(upload/download stuff), which I doubt caused my no connection problem. However, i have read through various post/stickies and have done the following: reinstall limewire, deleted pref folder and setup port forwarding using port 6346. Here is my info: 1. OS version? windows 2000 2. What firewalls you have? none that i know of 3. How much ram? 5k+ MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 60+gb 5. Connection type? cable 6.

Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? RCN 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'.

For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? upnp is disabled 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? nod32 antivirus 16. What country are you living in? USA This computer was built by a friend and I am not sure what programs and stuff he put in here, is there a way to search for firewalls? there are not obvious ones(norton, mcfee, etc), but maybe there is an "unknown" firewall somewhere?
