Ok, I've been having problems for weeks, so I've contacted Dell and after a week, I finally took matters into my own hands and was dumb and unstalled my own computer and here I am in the same boat I can't download any music,or videos from Graboid And I lost everything in my system... I'm wicked Mad, and Music Deprived. I have Norton Internet Sercurity, which also I have not changed. Another thing thats kind of wierd is that I have a labtop, and another desktop computer that I download both graboid and LW on to and neither of them I could download anything from. So, before I send $120 to someone in another country to fix my computer I thought I would give my lovely fellow problem solvers a try! Please help! -Tattooedchick24

7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.18.1
9. Who is your isp provider? Windstream
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user> I have used LW all the time on this computer everything just stopped working one day.


Thank you so much in advance for all your replys! You would be my angels if you helped me fix this!!

Try this, if only temporarily to see if it connects, log into your SpeedStream 4200 & disable NAT .. or/& set for DMZ. See if LW connects then. If yes, then you will need to port forward the device so you still have NAT security but a rule allowing LW access. It would suggest that model's UPnP doesn't work efficiently for everyone.

There appears to be a lot of users using the Windstream service & having problems connecting with LW. Do a forum search for Windstream & you will get an idea.
