Nevermind. I got it to work.

Thanks anyway. :)

Hi folks,

I have always had Limewire, and I just purchased a new computer, with the Vista platform. I installed Limewire, and now nothing happens.
What I mean: is that I can enter into limewire and do a search, but I do not get any responses from the search. I tried doing:

http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ and it says my test worked...

I am not running a firewall... so I m totally stumped. Can you help?

Thanks,
FP :bangh:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows Vista, I am the admin

2. What firewalls you have? MacAfee, but it tells me limewire can get through

3. How much ram? 3.0 GB

4. Hard Disk space available? 350 GB

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband

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?' Your test worked!

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. No I have used Limewire for years - just purchased a new computer

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image YES

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I do no't understand

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall MacAfee & Spybot 1.3

16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). USA

Thanks,

WHere is the preference folder at?

Ummm - what preference folder? :w00t:

Ensure that Limewire is closed before doing this.
Preference Folder for XP are found here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire <-- [delete]
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire <-- [delete]

Application Data's hidden by default, so you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files & folders to be able to see it (control panel - Tools - folder options - view - check the radio button to show hidden files & folders - apply - Ok)

For Vista the Preference Folder is found here :-
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire <--(Preference Folder)

Go to this link (How to show hidden files in Vista)
Once you have done this restart Limewire

I just noticed that my MacAfee Personal firewall is turned on and I cannot determine who to furn it off!!

Ta-Da! It worked... I'm not sure why, but it worked. Many thanks,
/fp. :aweof:
