 Try making listening port number & manual port forward number (even though you don't have port forwarding set up) the same number. Make sure to click 'ok' to save the change. Have you tried disabling McAfee, turning on Win firewall & then allowing LW access through that? This link has more info: Windows Firewall - LimeWire I can't give you a link to a Pro version. But if you want to try an older basic version, we can give you links to download older basic (NOT Pro) versions. Maybe you were originally using LW 4? Or a really early version of LW 5? But we don't know!! The reason that LW don't offer refunds on Pro is because the basic version is free to use at any time, for as long as you like. I guess the idea is to try a basic version, see if it works for you & if so then buy the Pro version if you want to. It makes sense to try before you buy... if people buy before trying a version (sometimes people will have probs with one particular version) then it's hard luck if that particular version doesn't work for them  We don't work for LW - it's just common sense to use basic first, before buying Pro. Depending on whether you bought 6 or 12 months worth of Pro, you might find that another version down the road works fine for you. Sometimes happens. But in the meantime, if you'd like to try installing an older basic version then let us know. However if you bought the 'one-off' $13.95 no support & no updates version of Pro... make sure to save the installer. Otherwise it will be removed completely if you install a basic version!  |

| confused Ok, I'm just a little confused so if you could help me with where to put the numbers. You said to make the listening port number and manual port number the same, I'm not sure what number is the listening port number. The area's that have places for numbers are: Gnutella port: xxxxxx Manual Port Forward: 6346 (this is listed under gnutella) this one is checked BitTorrent ports: xxxx to xxxx (6881 to 6889) I have "Do Nothing" checked off under this one Sorry, I mess around with computers a bit but this is where my knowledge ends  |
