Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? windstream 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'.

For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)?

| Check that you don't have a Windstream firewall - see this post: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/218807-post7.html If that's not the problem, make sure that your Windows firewall's allowing LW: User Cant Connect - LimeWire Otherwise, try the fixes in this thread. Start off by changing port numbers: If LW Will Not Connect If none of those fixes help, could you try to find out the model of your modem/router (box that plugs into your computer & lets you connect to the net)? If no info's showing on top of the device, turn it upside down & the info might be underneath. If you have a wireless connection, the router might be in another room  |
