Unhappy LimeWire Connection Problem

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? I get 'Your test worked!'
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes I am sharing the connection with other computers -- don't know any details, sorry.

(^^^Tried answering as many questions as possible^^^)


I updated my LW and all of a sudden I can no longer connect. I was able to connect before I updated. When viewing 'Connections' it says my Connection Status: Leaf, and I have no hosts to connect to. When I change the listening port to 6346, LW changes it to a random port when restarted.

Any help appreciated.

In limewire links below click on (ISP's known to block P2p) -- you will see that your ISP is listed -- for a temp. fix go to this link http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...mewire.htmlThe the only way to really fix this problem is to change your ISP
