Default I have honestly tried everything!

Limewire used to work a few months ago, but we cleaned out our computer and returned it to like new. So we lost everything! And now limewire won't work.


1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)Windows XP Home Edition 2002 Sevice Pack 2
2. What firewalls you have? Windows
3. How much ram?352 MB
4. Hard Disk space available?I dont know, but I do know it is enough for Limewire.
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?SB4200 Surfboard Cable Modem.
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version: Limewire 14.4.12, Java 1.6.0_03
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Wide Open West
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? It said it worked.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs?No, its windows XP so there is 2 users, but only I use limewire.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. NEw problem, experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall: Yes, but its always been there, and my firewall allows limewire.
14. For those using a modem/router: USNP enabled
15. What security programs are you using: Windows Firewall
16. What country are you living in?USA

Default Help for all you people!!

The Problem you can try everything But it aint gonna work. See All of your programs connect to the Gnuella Network. Unfortunately They Forgot to warn everyone they have Updated a File Which Is Located in your Limewire Folder. Trying Clicking here and downloading this file And Replacing it with the Old one. gnutella.net. For Windows Xp user Open Run in The start and Type Application Data and it should take you to a windows with other folders. Delete the Exsisting Gnuella.net file and replace it with the new one. When Being instructed to either run or save, Save it into My documents Then copy it into the Limewire Folder. Make sure to delete it out of My Documents and Then Restart Limewire and you should Get a turbo Charged Connection
