I have a wierd problem. I can't connect to Limewire through my stationary pc all of a sudden. I can connect with my laptop though.. I haven't done any changes to my firewall.
Anyways, here's my info: 1. OS version? Vista 2. What firewalls you have? Windows firewall 3. How much ram? 2GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 200GB ++ 5. Connection type? cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G 7. Where are you trying to connect from: Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.16.6, Java 1.6.0_05 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Canal Digital 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? "Your test worked" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Yes, my laptop (wireless) 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? New problem with an experienced user. 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? UPnP enabled 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? AVG 7.5 Anti-virus Professional Edition 16. What country are you living in? Norway Edit: After I did the test in #10 I got connected to Limewire! And, the connection dropped after I restarted Limewire. Still need help to figure this one out... Last edited by filiokus; April 15th, 2008 at 02:47 PM. Reason: Connection dropped |

Hi and welcome !
Main question... Have you recently 'updated' and/or 'clean installed' LimeWire ?

Both. I updated, uninstalled, and reinstalled Limewire.

Ok, this is really frustrating. Now I am connected again. It seems that it takes a good while before it connects. Any idea what could cause the delay?
Tanks so much for your help, and sorry about the "back and forth"-thing here.. ^^ |

OK
And as far as the 'back and forthing goes', we have just begun !!! LOL Have a look at this > If LimeWire Will Not Load which you'll find in my signature in the above post. Might as well have a look at some of the others above it in the LimeWire group. Be sure to come back either before you try out the 'fixes' or for sure after ! |
