One day I opened it and it connected and worked just fine. It worked for about a week or so and i was just using it about 15 min ago before i restarted my computer. After I restarted it, I can't get it to connect again!!!! WTF???? ![]() ![]() ![]() 1. Windows Vista 2. Windows firewall 3. dunno how much ram 4. dunno how much hard disk space 5. wireless connection 6. dunno modem and router type (what are those anyway??) 7. connecting from house 8.

![]() i have windows vista on my desktop and daughter's laptop and had same problem on both of them till i found and fix the problem,was not the windows vista,was my inbound and outbound was not accepting the firewall,since i allowed firewall accept it,my limewire works well,we can download music and enjoy music and dance the hours away,why don't you check your inbound and outbound on your administrative tool,go where says firewall advanced and security,it might work,it did for us,good luck. |
