![]() I have tried reading every post on here that i can find about connection issuses. I have done all the things I have read about and still unable to connect. Can someone please assist me in what i should do. I am not really all that computer smart so the kindergarten instructions work best with me. I think i should answer one of the questionaires I saw on here about what i have and don't have so maybe someone can help me. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Avast is the only one I know of... 3. How much ram? Who tells you that cause i am not sure... 4. Hard Disk space available? Where would I figure this out? 5. Connection type? wireless 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Not sure where this information comes from either? 7. Where are you trying to connect from? home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Dwnloaded and paid for PRO cause it suddenly will not work so I thought that it would now but uh I was wrong 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? Says "Internet explorer could not display" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? don't really know 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem never had issuses with it before 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? I think that is one of the things I read and tried and it said yes 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ![]() Avast? 16. What country are you living in? United States. I hope this helps to figure out the problems cause I am lost. |
