still having upload problems
 

Does anyone have anymore adive why I can't get uploads while my Norton firewall is on. I configured my firewall to permit all for lime wire. My modem doesn't have a NAT firewall. And I tried forcing my ip but that didn't help. IF I disable my firewall uploads start within a few minutes but always say transfer interupted.

Which OS version is that? If it's XP of course it will have XP's firewall: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

Which version of Norton is that? I've heard of issues with Norton's firewall. UKBobboy seems to have reasonable experience with it: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32877

If I may say, the most recent LW version 4.4.1 has better auto firewall configuration.

I'm running windows xp sp2 with NIS 2004. I followed your instructions using this link.

Is your XP firewall turned on or off? Did you configure it for LW: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

And it seemed to fix some of the problems. I'm receiving uploads now but every upload is saying transfer interupted. Do you know what could be causing that.

It means you're probably still firewalled from incoming requests. After LW has been on for at least 30 mins, Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/false? If it's false it means there's a firewall somewhere. It's either a computer firewall or a modem NAT firewall that may require port forwarding (opening port 6346 for LW.) Don't panic about that thought b/c if you were playing net games or video conferencing you'd need to open many ports.

It was coming up false before I followed those instructions Now its coming up True. But every upload is still saying transfer interupted.

After you open LW it can take a while for LW to be ready to accept incoming b/c it's predisposed/preoccupied with loading shared/incomplete files & trying to manually connect to each incomplete one. That's why I suggested to wait at least 30 mins after you open LW. Depending on the no. of incomplete & shared files it can even take much longer to load & settle for some people. eg: in Mac osx it takes 10 mins to load about 3k files. But if I use Mac OS 9 it takes over 2 hrs to load less than 2 k files. lol :D

Are you certain? If you're getting incoming then you're probably right.

The only other obstacle I can think of is SP2. Have a look at the SP2 Stickys HERE!

I contacted my local provider and they said I definitly don't have a built in firewall. I've been running LW for a few hrs now and still keep getting transfer interupted for every upload. Thanks for your help and if you find anything new that might fix this let me know. Thanks

Still no luck yet. After running LW all morning every upload has transfer interupted.

I was reading a post yesterday about setting your incoming and outgoing ports for NIS. Does anyone know where I can find any info on this.

thanks for the link but I already did that part of Norton. I was reading somewhere that there was something else I needed to configure for NIS.
