![]() I'm unable to connect to the network and my Connections tab remains blank. It doesn't even attempt to connect anywhere. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP SP2 2. What firewalls you have? SonicWall SOHO3, no Windows Firewall 3. How much ram? 512MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 37GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorola Surfboard SB4200 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.13.4 and Java 1.6.0_03 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Timewarner 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? Works. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Few other devices behind NAT firewall 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Worked a few months ago with Limewire on a Mac and Kazaa and Limewire worked about a year ago on this PC. 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.

Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). United States Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Jason |
