 You are using Dial up? If yes, you may struggle to have both LW's running at same time. Try this: Go to LW's menu bar, Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> SuperReallyAdvanced -> Firewalls. Make sure both your connection & listening ports are different to the ones your sister is using. Change manually if necessary. Choose a port number between 49152 - 65535 ... sample image on this setting window can be seen here: Manual port forward instructions & sample image. It might also be a good idea to get a copy of the Gnutella.net file your sister is using & drop it into your LW preferences folder replacing your older one ... but LW must be closed whilst you do that. Your preferences folder will be found at either C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire or C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\limewire The latter location you can only find if you go to View options & enable Show Hidden Files & Folders. Application Data is a hidden folder.  |

| Thanks for your help, but that didn't work.  My sister and I don't use LimeWire at the same time. She doesn't live with me anymore, but I was always able to access it on her computer and not mine. I changed both port numbers to 56732 (where it says "Listen on Port" and "Manual Port Forward") and I'm still not able to connect. I just recently restored my computer and I put her version of LimeWire onto my computer. I wasn't able to get connectivity before the restore or after. Any other suggestions? |

| Are you sure that the 2-wire model is 2701HG-00? There are lots of 2701HG models but I can't find that particular one. Have you tried all of the fixes in this thread (click on link)? If LW 4 Will Not Connect After you deleted LW's preferences folder, did you have to go through LW's setup all over again? And did you have any trouble with replacing the gnutella.net file? Do you have a dial up connection? The 2701HG looks like a broadband gateway. Last edited by birdy; September 8th, 2009 at 08:13 PM. |
