ok so i did everything on this forum including the link limewire won't load.i have talked to my IP (shaw) they have reassured me that they do not do any port blocking.
is there anything else i can do??? or am i just hooped????
maybe someone has a good suggestion of where i can download from that actually works and is as good as lime wire.. i don't want to download off of a big virus trap either.. PLEASE HELP!

If you want to try the older version then see below. I would completely wipe the latest version off of the machine before trying this. Use the LW uninstaller and NOT Add/Remove Programs option.

Limewire. Old Version of Limewire Download
And here for the Whole index of older apps. Old Version Downloads - OldApps.com :laugh_2:

And another.
Download LimeWire Basic 4.16.6 - filehippo.com

thanks but i have tried 3 other versions of LW and they don't work either. i completely removed the other version first and still nothing... i'm thinking i was just not meant to use limewire (sigh)

Have you tried the suggestions from Birdy?? See Link Below

If LW Will Not Connect

yes,i have done every single thing off of that page:bangh: and still nothing.

so now that i have done everything in this forum to get my LW working,does that mean i'm pretty well out of luck? :confused:

Is there any chance that you may have a Windows Security Program or Firewall Running?? This is just a guess or suggestion that you may Look into.

nope,my windows firewall is off..and i have limewire allowed by my shaw firewall

I found this info about Shaw. It's Several Years Old but It might be something to go on. Wow what a bunch of Buttheads.

Shaw is censoring Internet feeds and lying about it - Boing Boing

holy hell what a bunch of asses,i called them the other day and they flat out told me that they don't do any port blocking..i'd switch IP's but i'm moving in less then 2 weeks so theres no sense right now.But tomorrow morning there gonna hear about it:ranting2: thanks for looking that up by the way.
