connection problems with version 4.16
 

Hi,
I have used LimeWire Basic for a long time and have only ever had the occasional connection problem. However, lately I have been completely unable to connect. This was with version 4.12 so I downloaded the latest version 4.16 but it still will not connect. I use ZoneAlarm firewall and have allowed Limewire to both connect to the network and act as a server but it still will not connect. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance

a lot of people cant seem to connect to LW anymore. I use a PC there are 3 different user accounts all by my account seem to connect I havent changed anything (Settings) in my account. I logged on to the other accounts and they Connect Imediately

It might be as your Isp blocking you.do you two know who your isp is.

What is that. Oh I have SBC DSL but now because there are 3 different accounts on this PC and both accounts run and connect well with LIMEWIRE its just me dont knwo y did not change any Settings

Hey, sure do hope you don't think that Edit up there was anything heavy on you... Not meant that way !

Anyway... Are you familiar with and a bit comfortable working with User Profiles in Windoze ?

Yes I know a bit about working with User Profile in Windows, Is there something I can try in there???????

Update I just re-opend LW and it finally connected thank God. I did not do anything did not change anything

Scary, huh ?

So... (a little sombre cello here in the background)... er...
What happens if you do a Shutdown... Does it still work OK ?

(Perhaps the JAWS background music should be on during the Shutdown and Start, huh ?)

NO I will not shut LW down I'm afraid I dont want to have the same problem, of having days where I cant connect. I'm the onlyone in the Copm that had this problem. The other Accounts where avail to connect right away after opening LW.

My isp is tiscali. I also use a BT Voyager 205 ADSL router if that helps. Any ideas?

Well I did shut down LW and now, I have the same problem cant connect again

Ok question, LW was running and was not connected how did a file finish downloading if it did not have a connection and how are people downloding files from my Library???

not sure if this has anything to do with my connection problem but when i close limewire a box comes up saying limewire is shutting down but it never closes properly and the box never goes away. could this be related to my connection problems?

I have same problems. Recently having trouble connecting, so updated to 4.16. My ISP is TalkTalk, and getting no bars at all in the connections box. I also have a Linksys 354G wireless router, and this is fine. Also tried to manually port forward, but no luck. The Router firewall is turned off, and I only use the XP firewall. Suspect that it is ISP troubles, although have tried emule to check, and it is very slow, but connects OK.
