Ok........
So i had limewire for a whole week before i could get it to connect. I tried everything this web site said and not one thing worked. 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????

I downloaded limewire cause all my friends said that limewire was the best thing to have....well it hasn't been anything but a pain in the butt for me. And when I posted and asked for help nobody ever answered me. Will somebody please help me this time??? WTF is up with limewire and why is is so freaking hard to stay connected to the network????

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. Limewire version 4.14.12
Java version 1.6.0_03
9. Crockett Telephone (bet you ain't heard of that)
10. my test worked
11. i used bearshare and no problem with it
12. well i've only had limewire about 2 or 3 weeks so i guess that means i'm new
13. the brick wall is there but i used it for a week with it there and had no problem

Have you ever thought that it could be Vista?

Haley_Jo · #3 (**permalink**) December 31st, 2007

It may be Vista. I dunno but surely someone does. I have tried everything and I dunno why it won't work. I really wish someone would help me though cause i'm pretty much computer illiterate.

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.

Can you please tell me step by step how to make windows vista work.

helen_pooh · #6 (**permalink**) January 1st, 2008

Here is the instruction to see if your inbound and outbound is accepting by firewall,this is only for windows vista,perhaps can go to other windows,but i am not sure,cause i know you have it,so follow the way i know,even it has another way to go.

1-START
2-HELP AND SUPPORT,click on it and will open a small screen and type ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL on search bar,then will say WHAT ARE ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL,click on it,then click where says Click To Open Administrative Tool,it will open another screen and will show few options to choice,double click where says WINDOWS FIREWALL WITH ADVANCED SECURITY,a screen opens and from there you will see DOMAIN PROFILE,PRIVATE PROFILE AND PUBLIC PROFILE,click your profile,private or public,what ever you have and then you see the inbound and outbound,it will show what you want to do,block or allow,just click ALLOW,your profile needs to have all green check marks ok,hope this helps you.

Hey Helen! Thanks for the instructions, I just tried them and it is still not working. I have Allowed acess in my firewall and in Norton. I had LW w/ XP and it worked fine...now Im at a loss. Any other suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.
