LW won't connect. This is fun.
 

Hey. my LW, when I try to connect, just stays on "you are ocnnecting to a network". never connects.
it says I have a firewall, but I don't.
I already did all of the suggestions for fixing it, none of which worked.
Here's the little questionnaire thing. Please help me out. It just kind of died one day, when its been working for over a year.


1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account.
Vista, and I am the admin.
2. What firewalls you have?
Antivir virus guard, but no actual firewall.
3. How much ram?
512mb
4. Hard Disk space available?
4g
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
cable/wireless
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Motorola modem, linksys router
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
LW 4.18.3 Java 1.6.0_04
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
shaw
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.
just a wireless connection with a laptop
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
I'm an experienced user. been using it for ages.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
Yes, which is odd, because I don't have a firewall active.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
>_> I dunno, everything's kinda hooked up to each other. I know it's not a problem with my internet though.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
Antivir. But I have it disabled when I use LW anyways
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).
Canada

Cheers,
sok

I have tried everything and can't get connected !!! Can't wait to see what the answer is !!!

LimeWire 4.18.3 Help
 

I've tried everything I can think of... It just will not connect, I have my firewall disabled, still just sits there acting like it is going to connect..

I run AWFUL Vista... The old LimeWire worked fine, I guess I should have just left well enough alone....

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

I also clicked that link http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ and that worked fine.

Someone please help :Smilywais:

Haaaaaaalp

I actually uninstalled my McAfee and it STILL doesn't work!
