![]() I've tried everything on the connection problem page. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong....here are the questions you needed answered. 1. Windows XP 2. Windows firewall only 3. 520 mb ram 4. ( how do I check?) 5. Broadband/Cable 6. Arris - TM602g 7. Connecting from home ( not wireless) 8. LW 5.1.2 and Java 1.6.0_12 9. Time Warner Cable 10. Says "Your test worked" 11. No connection to any other p2p or other computers 12. I've had Limewire for years....just upgraded to 5.1.2 because I was having connection problems with LW4 recently 13. Says I have a firewall...and an invalid external address 14. UPnP enabled 15. Cyber Defender 16. USA 17. upgraded my version of LW. Nothing else has changed with my set up or computer. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! |

![]() My Java is completely up to date. I don't have a router. I'm not using a proxy, and it is checked next to no proxy in LW. I'm not sure about the preferences folder....what do I need to do for this again? any other suggestions? Thank you! |

![]() I Just did the whole LW prefs folder and restarted the computer, but now it won't even attempt to connect. It says connecting in the bottom left hand corner but when I click on advance tools it doesn't show any attempts to connect. I put LW as an exception on my firewall. I'm thinking that LORD is right about cyber defender...maybe I need to use something else. Or download bearshare ![]() Last edited by melace; April 27th, 2009 at 09:03 AM. Reason: typo |

![]() A little off-topic for your problem here but ... StopBadware.org _ (but then some of its components 'might' be interfering.) Quite odd. I wonder if the above software is related to this somehow. Purely a surmising thought. Deleting the LW preferences folder (but LW must be closed at that time): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post183932 BTW you should not need to turn your XP firewall off. Simply add LW as an exception. ![]() Last edited by Lord of the Rings; April 26th, 2009 at 10:52 PM. |
