![]() i couldn't find it. you should know i'm only 15 so the easier said the better. vista i have plain windows firewall 153 gb free dsl, wireless airlink 101 mimo technology from my house lw 4.18.3 java 1.6.0-oem the page says your test worked!! sharing connection? meaning is there another computer using the same router, yes new problem, with a 3 year experience yes, there is a brick wall port forwarding, i believe. symantec antivirus dallas, texas please bear with me, i know it will be hard. ![]() |

![]() Thanks for your details ![]() Try the fixes in this sticky thread (stickies are threads marked in red, at the top of each forum section & they have answers to many common problems): If LW Will Not Connect Can you find the model of your Airlink (will probably be some letters, followed by a number eg AR325W)? If nothing's showing on top, have a look underneath. Who is your ISP (which company do you/your family pay for your internet)? |

![]() When you set up port forwarding, did you make sure to set up a static IP address first? If you didn't do the port forwarding, ask whoever did it ![]() Make sure that LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router's config are all the same number. If your router supports UPnP (check the router manual), you could try enabling that within the router's config & then choosing the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall. I guess you tried all the fixes in that 'if LW will not conect' thread? After you deleted the preferences folder, did you have to go through LW's setup wizard all over again? |

![]() Yes, you can keep FrostWire if you want to...it's pretty much the same as LW & connects to the same network ![]() Before you uninstall LW, just check where your downloads are saved. Tools > options > saving will show you where they're stored. Then you can move files into the FW saved folder if you need/want to. I haven't used FW for ages, so I'm not sure if the saving locations are the same for both apps...it used to be the same but that might've changed. |
