![]() OS version?Windows XP2. What firewalls you have? How much ram? 1 Gig Hard Disk space available? 250 Gig with 129 Gig free Connection type? Broadband Where are you trying to connect from Home, one PC What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LimewirePro version 4.12.6 and Java 1.6.0_03 Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Time Warner Aol/RoadRunner 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? Test worked fine. McAfee anti-virus and firewall is in place, with Limewire allowed. OK here is sudden problem. Always connected fine till this week. Now all i get is 3 bars with a FAIR connection and no search capabilities. I have tried to email LW customer service and after 4 attempts, still have not heard back from them. I purchased the Pro edition in May of 2006. Is this their attempt for me to repurchase the software? Any help would be appreciated, thanks and Happy Holidays. |

![]() If you bought Pro in May, 2006, your Pro benefits are over a year out of date (back then buying Pro entitled you to 6 months worth of free updates & email support). So you're not entitled to Pro support...they won't answer your emails. Try these fixes for the no search results thing. 1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference. 2. Problems with the search 3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them. Have you tried deleting the LW rules within Mcafee's config & then setting new ones? Have you made sure that the XP firewall is off? What's the brand & model of your modem/router?? How is your modem/router set up...UPnP enabled, port forwarded or nothing?? |
