 Connection Problem Hello, This is the very first time I ever posted on the "Gnutella Forums". Today I bring you a very common question refering to connection problems. It seems to happen when I run LW and I search for a song to download. After I wait, and come back to my computer the searching is complete and there is not even one file of music for me to download. I notice that there are a huge number of posts reguarding to connection problems, but it is a real issue. I hope this thread is specific enouph for you to understand my complications. Thanks, Limewire Freak   |

| Are you fully connected to the network ?? ie. Do you have any red bars ?? Do you see a brick wall in front of the globe ?? If you answer yes to these questions could you post these details please... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-you-post.html If you are fully connected to the network, try these fixes...  Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply... If that does not help try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it... Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more... (try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...) Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply... Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up... Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users. PeerGuadian 2 for Windows Vista beta released - Phoenix Labs PeerGuardian 2:Manual - Phoenix Labs Wiki Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...
