![]() I have previously been able to download and connect to limewire. Just recently I have not been able to connect. It always says: Limewire is currently conecting to the network. The weird part is that another person, who uses the same computer, just a different account is still able to download and the connection quality bar is all green while mine is all red. I don't believe it is a problem with firewalls because we use the same ones. 1. OS version? Windows XP SP2 2. What firewalls you have? windows 3. How much ram? 512 4. Hard Disk space available? 40 g 5. Connection type? broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Netgear 7. Where are you trying to connect from ? home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.16.6 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast 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? 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. First problem, have used lw for a while 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? H 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Norton, but is off 16. What country are you living in? US |
