9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?Bellsouth( AT&T)

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.I had the older version of LW it would connect but I upgraded to Pro and it will not connect. Shows brickwall and connection bar stays at one bar.
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 imageYes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?UPnP enabled.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall.I have Windows firewall only, I have tried every thread and possible fix I could try but nothing works.

Make sure Limewire has full access through the Windows Firewall.
You also may try Port Forwarding your Router. See Link Below.

Remoc, I have tried to set up a static IP, but everytime I do I cannot search the internet. What am I doing wrong.:confused:

Laura Fletcher February 25th, 2008 08:31 AM

I can't SEARCH for songs I'd like to download. It keeps saying that it can't find a port to listen for incoming connections. Help please! Thank you

I finally got Limewire to connect by unistalling Norton Antivirus, I installed another anti-virus that does not block limewire now I am fully connecte.

Remoc March 9th, 2008 02:53 PM

Hutch, Glade you found a solution to the problem, but you said nothing about Norton when you gave the system details. I think a lot of the time the connection problems members have is simply due to their security set up and modem/routers. Good job :xirokrotima:

My subscription had expired to Norton, I did not think it would still be causing me trouble.Just glad to get if working.:xirokrotima:

Hello---I'm Morty326 and I have been using limewire for 2.5 years and never had issues with connecting. I have the latest versions of java, limewire, and my OS is Vista. Just today, 3-10, I cannot establish a connection. PLEASE, PLEASE help. Is the network itself down? I have ALWAYS been able to connect until now. I even Uninstalled completely and reinstalled and still having connection issues. I'm running McAfee and haven't changed that in some time. Limewire WILL load and it even shows my files but the connection just sits in a lag state.

Remoc March 10th, 2008 08:06 PM

Is there a Brickwall in front of the Blue Globe?? Has anything changed with your ISP?? Could possibly be a Modem/Router issue.

There was a huge problem with Vista + Mcafee + Limewire several months ago.
