firewall problem

valleystreamnz · #1 (**permalink**) June 8th, 2008

Hi, I have tried everything! Nothing is working and LW still says it has detected a firewall. Here's some info.

1. OS version? Windows 2000
2. What firewalls you have? Not sure, just windows security centre?
3. How much ram? Not sure but computer is fairly new
4. Hard Disk space available? Not sure but computer is fairly new
5. Connection type? Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? D-LINK ADSL Router DSL502T
7. Where are you trying to connect from HOUSE
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.18.2 JAVA 1.6.0 02
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Xtra (NZ)
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? 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. Used LW on same computer a few years ago no issues (have reinstalled since problems started)
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? NOT SURE
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall

Standard winows
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).
New Zealand
HELP! Thanks

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if still no good click on (Fixes for LW when LW isn't operating as it should) let us know how you get on
