![]() I have gone through everything, unloaded, reloaded, had 4.16 then downloaded 4.18 and no luck. Uninstalled it, tried to download 4.14, but the download was corrupt, so back to 4.16 still no luck. LW has had no issues before, and nothing has changed on my system. So here are the questions and answers about my system: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account. Window xp pro, no admin accounts. 2. What firewalls you have? Windows firewall, lime wire is an exception. 3. How much ram? 1 gig 4. Hard Disk space available? 15 gig 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) dsl 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Siemens speed stream 4100 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 bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ Click to see Sample image LW 4.16.3 Java 1.5.0_3 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? ATT Yahoo 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, so it works 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Only one computer in house 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. NEW PROBLEM, ABOUT A WEEK OLD 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? UPnP is enabled 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall security provided by ATT Yahoo and the windows firewall, this has never changed. No fire wall can be found there. 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). US And scripting of Java applets are enabled if that helps... So what do we do now??? ![]() |
