 router issues when downloading Hi - I just downloaded the lastest version of Limewire, I had no issues in the past. Now, when I download stuff - my wireless router will kick me off and need to re-set up my wireless network to get back to internet access. I can connect and search initially. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account. Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? McAfee 3. How much ram? 1.99 GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 129GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Modem: Linksys BEFCMU10 v2. Router: Linksys WRT54G V8 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Limewire:4.18.2, Java: 1.5.0_06 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? [B*******er[/B] 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. not that I am aware of. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I had no problems before I downloaded new version - but then again, I hadn't used limewire for a few months. 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 No 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Router is UPnP enabled. Not sure about modem - how do you check? 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall McAfee and Limewire is set to full access. 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). USA  |
