 Weird connection issue Ok, hi guys, new here. I have Limewire 4.16.6, and it has given me almost zero problems   Until now.  It just no longer wants to connect anymore. I used LimeWire's troubleshooter on their website yesterday, and I added a new port for LimeWire, and that solved my problam after about 20 minutes, but my connection speed was like 1 or 2 Kb/s (It's usually 5) Now, it is no longer working again. I tried the method yesterday, but no luck. Any idea whats going on? It's showing 1 bar constantly, and showing there is a firewall up (whenever it hits 3 bars, it goes away) but now It's always one bar, and thats all I can get out of it. Help please guys, I appreciate it!  EDIT: When I tried to complete a old download (via Incomplete Files folder) It says "Waiting for Stable Connections" never seen that before....... EDIT: Limewire is now connected (45 minutes of it trying to) at 5 bars, w/ no firewall emblem on the globe, but my connection speed sucks worse than ever, now anywhere from 0.7 Kb/s to 2 Kb/s. Any advice? Last edited by CartierEditionOwner; April 1st, 2008 at 02:28 PM.  |

| Ok give me some system detail's. 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? 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?

See, I updated AOL months ago, and limewire wasnt affected until 4 days ago. I haven't downloaded anything recently, so I have no idea what is causing this. |

| Well than with that said i would say Aol sucks any way believe Me i had It for about three years will never go back.I all so had netzero.All so the same you really cant get more than 20 Kbps any way with dial up.Do you have lots of people around if you do try useing a Wireless card and see if any one has a wireless connection. Hope this helps  Peace
