![]() First my system Windows xp pro sp2 Windows firewall: Limewire is selected on the exception list RAM: 2g HDD available space: 50 g Connection type: DSL ISP: Windstream communications Modem: SpeadStream 4200 Linksys Router: WRK54G I have checked the settings for my ISP, modem and router and none are blocking this is my home computer LW ver 4.16.6 Pro Java Ver 1.6.0_05 Performed the test and the page displayed is the IE unable to connect page. My computer is on a home network but LW is installed on only one of the computers I have used LW before without problems. However I did have a system crash and had to reinstall all programs. My ISP, modem, and router are the same and LW worked. LW does detect a firewall as it did before when it worked. UPnP is enabled I am using Avast antivirus. There is no firewall but Avast does monitor, without blocking. I am using Windows defender but is does not block. I am in the USA What I have done with no luck: disconnected/reconnected disabled show tips at startup * connect on startup replaced gnutella.net file Updated Java deleted LW preferences folder changed listening port I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times I have installed axence nettools 3.1 (free version) on my computer. In the netwatch it sees gnutella.net and I can do a traceroute successfully. I have come to the conculusion that LW is unable to read the gnutella.net file for some reason. I noticed that when I opened the preferences folder gnutella.net file had not been copied to the folder during installation. I downloaded the file to the preferences folder, but still I cannot connect. What do I do now? MJet25 ![]() |

![]() I found the setup application for my speedstream 4200 modem and reset the firewall level. Even though my ISP provides a program to set a firewall level, it did not change it for the modem. As soon as I changed the firewall level within the modem setup turbocharged connection was achieved. I hope that this will help someone else. ![]() |
