 Limewire 5.0.11 not connecting Yes, we have dozens of "no connection" problems. Let me describe my setup: Vista Home Premium - SP1 ISP: Comcast Internet Cable (ave. down= 16170kbps, up= 1020kbps) Softw Firewall = Comodo Pro Router Wireless = Linksys WRT54G Softw AntiVirus = BitDefender 2009 I do not use MS Firewall or Defender. Limewire (worked without a problem until updated with 5.0.11 Java 1.6.0.11) Free Version Problem = it displays Connecting for over 1 minute then "No Internet Connection". Mind you, I am capable of using the Browser and access Internet sites while Limewire saids No Internet Connection. Limewire Options: Unsafe Categories (both unchecked). Advanced Tools - Port 6346 Other than using a newer version of Limewire, everything else tell me the firewalls are not at fault. Please help.  Test performed = Disabled Software Firewall (failed to connect as before) Disabled Router Firewall (failed to connect as before) Rebooted and repeated (failed to connect as before)  |

| Phex is just as good if not better than LimeWire. It is another gnutella program supported on these forums. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/phex-c...urn-infos.html for more details.  I luv Phex, it has some functions LW does not have such as size filter. The interface is not as simple as LW but it's a great program all the same. |

| I don't want to use Phex! I paid for LimeWire Pro and I want it to work. It says no internet connection. At the same time I am using my browser to surf the net. So does anyone have a clue??? |

| As I described before, I keep trying all suggestions but still "No Internet Connections" although I connect to the Internet for everything else. Since I ran the new Limewire disabling both the Router and the software Firewall, do you think somebody is going to wakeup and blame the new Limewire? I did not have such problems using the previous version, with both the Router and the firewall. I hate to count how many of us are now "disconnected" and the developer still happy with what they did to Limewire! |
