![]() I have been using LimeWire for years. Never had to change any of the advanced settings. By that I mean, once I installed and upgraded limewire it was always fine. I updated my XP from SP2 to SP3 and I noticed that LimeWire would now not connect. Please help. 1. OS version? Windows XP Service Pack 3 2. What firewalls you have? McAfee, Windows, Router (Actiontec) 3. How much ram? 2GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 129GB 5. Connection type? Verizon Fios 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? ActionTec 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.16.7 not sure on java 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Verizon Fios 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. New Problem with experienced user 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ Yes, Always have 14.

![]() I noticed when I installed SP3 the built in security features (read the firewall) of XP were reactivated....perhaps turning off the windoze firewall (if that's the way you had it in the past) will solve your problem..

![]() I will assume that LW starts up, hence it is not a java problem....dunno, perhaps uninstalling and reinstalling will do the trick...as a note I've had no issues with SP3 as of yet.... not being a LW as of this moment prevents me from making any statements about it in specific, but BearShare beta and Phex have no problems connecting for me...
