Just curious, how come this was not a problem in the past. I have not changed my router and it use to work 6 months or so ago. Does a previous version of LimeWire still work without setting up a static IP address? If so, can I get a link to that version and use it?

Thanks for the help.
some people have done this with no problems at all -- that is reverting back to their old version of LW -- I dont know why this problem occurs perhaps one of the LW GURU's can answer that question

lsaluck is flying high
Default Went back to 4.12.15

While trying to set up a static isp, I contacted my ISP since my DNS servier on the windows printout was the same as my IP address. My ISP (Bright House/Road Runner) said that I could not use a static ip it would not work with there system.

So after many weeks, I downloaded LimeWire version 4.12.15 and guess what Limewire works again. Now if Limewire could put out a new version that connects the old way that would be great.

good to hear that you have been reconnected again even if it's with yr old version in lieu of the latest version.
