 Make sure that you don't have a Windstream firewall causing problems. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html It's not a good sign when the port test doesn't work, it can sometimes mean that an ISP is blocking certain ports. Did you try a few different ports in the range that I gave you? Go into LW's preferences folder (named LimeWire), hover your mouse over the gnutella.net file...what size is that file? You could try port forwarding for your router. The instructions are here. Port Forwarding for the Efficient(Siemens) Speedstream 5200 Don't forget the step of setting up a static IP address first. LW's listening port , port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router setup should all be the same number.  |

| Something went wrong when you first replaced the gnutella.net file...that should be around 20 KB in size. You need to make sure that LW is really properly closed (check in task manager to make sure there's no LW process running) before you replace gnutella.net Replace the file again, restart LW, then go back & make sure the file's not 0 bytes again  |

Did you try port forwarding & did you make sure to set up a static IP address first? Did you try installing the older Java version (linked to in the 'if LW will not connect' thread)? What has changed since you were last able to connect (new computer, hardware, programs installed etc)? If the port test still doesn't work, maybe it's your ISP blocking ports. Try one of these other gnutella clients...see whether any of those will connect. Phex BearShare FrostWire |
