What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.18.8 Pro 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Roadrunner 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? It says "Your test worked" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I share the connection with one other computer here in the apartment. The modem is hooked up to that computer and I am on a wireless connection. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I used Pro several years ago on a different computer and it worked great! 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I haven't touched the settings, so I don't think so... 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Norton 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 17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? I recently updated Java Any help you can give in helping me connect will be great! I tried getting ahold of LW's tech support... no help there. Thanks! |
