![]() Hello! I've tried all the tech suggestions here that pertain to me and I'm still not getting connected onto Limewire. Here's my info: 1. OS version? Vista - Admin account 2. What firewalls you have? Windows and NetDefense 3. How much ram? 2046MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 73% free 5. Connection type? DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Netgear Wireless 7. Where are you trying to connect from: house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.16.6 and Java 6 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? NDtel 10. Do this simple test for us. What happens when you go there?: 'Your test worked!' 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? no 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user: Had LW on my XP system that had Norton - first time using it with my new Vista that has Advanquest Systemsuite 8 antivirus with NetDefense firewall 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? (sorry - computer stupid about this question) 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Advanquest Systemsuite 8 antivirus with NetDefense firewall 16. What country are you living in? USA So frustrating - I checked my netdefense and it has LW on it's allowed list - also double checked windows firewall to make sure as well. Don't know what else to check or to tweak. Suggestions are most welcome! ![]() Edited to add: My sister is on LW right now sitting right next to me dl'ing files. She has XP with mcafee antivirus.
