your school is more than likely blocking P2P -- ask your friends if they are having problems connecting to limewire at school

is there any way to get around it? i know they have a program called cisco clean access agent. is that whats preventing it? and i found 1 student who gets a connection even when limewire is telling him he is not.

1. OS version? vista and yes
2. What firewalls you have?Windows Defender,Norton AntiVirus,Spy Sweeper are the programs on my pc
3. How much ram? 2038MB
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? schools lan
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? idk
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? scool
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.16.6 pro & 1.5.0
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? idk
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? page couldnt display
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. ive tried alot of the thing on the forem to fix it and nothin
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? idk
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Windows Defender,Norton AntiVirus,Spy Sweeper
16. What country are you living in? usa


when i brought my laptop to a friends house it connected with no problem but im always at school and nothin connects here
