![]() I've tried everything - deleting the preferences folder, replacing the gnutella.net file, even uninstalling and reinstalling Limewire, but I give up. I'm close to uninstalling Limewire - period. Before I do that, can someone help? My system details are: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Windows and McAfee Security Center 3. How much ram? 228GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 210GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? dunno..... 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. LW 4.16.2 Java 1.6.0_03 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? TSTT 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? Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. First try 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, but exceptions have been made in both the Windows firewall and the McAfee Security Center firewall 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I believe my UPnP is enabled 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ![]() 16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). Trinidad & Tobago I hope the information provided is enough to help me. I'll be checking back regularly for a response. Thanks! ![]() |

![]() I'm not really familiar with too much computer geek stuff (and I do NOT mean that in a bad way whatsoever) - what would installing the Codec Pack do to help with connecting to Limewire? Also, my system is already protected by McAfee through their Security Center. I still can't connect, regardless of what I do. I'm this close to uninstalling Limewire and calling it a day. |
