![]() Ok. I use to use limewire all the time and from one day to the next (I did not change anything) it says it can't connect because if detected a firewall. I have been going through all of the other posts and have tried a million and one things and still no luck. Any help? Please. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account Vista - I think Admin 2. What firewalls you have? windows/norton 2007 3. How much ram? 1g Hard Disk space available? 92g onnection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) wireless & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? apt version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? TWC 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 g the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. new prob ext user l in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ![]() re you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). These are all contained within the sticky Connection problems? Check here first! but possibly some people are getting a bit confused or lost when we direct them to this sticky & ask them to provide their details. This information can be vital ![]() For instance, some ISPs are known for blocking p2p/throttling bandwidth, some connection devices are known for being unreliable in certain situations. So please, help us to help you & provide as much info as you can. If you're new to LW or new to computers & aren't sure how to answer some questions, or don't know what an ISP or router is - just say so. Nobody's going to yell at you ![]() Even if you can't answer all the questions in one go...don't worry. Do the best you can & we'll take it from there. __________________ |
