Are you running Windows Firewall

yes I am running windows firewall

Limewire appears to be having a little problem with windows firewall until the Dev figure it out I do not know what to do. But LimeWire should still be working even with the firewall issue. Perhaps someone else has some Ideas. Neither of you posted if it was working or what problems you were having. A little more info would help with answers.

OS, Windows 98/2000/XP
CPU, P4 3.0 GHz/AMD 64 3200+Ghz
Memory, 256MB/512MB
Graphics/Video Card & Platform NVIDIA/Intel Extreme/Radieon

LimeWire Version 4.8.1/4.9.11

What firewall you use if any
What Antivirus if any
Are you new to LimeWire or Experienced

RaaF comes to the forum every few days or so.

Sounds like you have dial up service. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Firwall Problem
 

I can download some files. Others will only download for about a half and hour then stop and I won't be able to get a connection again for a week or two others never make a connection even after 24-7 for two or three weeks.

I do not think you have a firewall problem. Yours sounds more like the files you are choosing to download. Check out the link below it might help.

bug report shows false...

and the www3 link says: it worked, indeed, but than nothing more happens..
i dont believe that i have dial up.. i dont use a phone-line
for using internet, if thats what you mean..
a have internet the same way as television.. that sounds
familiar.?
a have checked the dutch forum, thanks.!, but i could not find my
problem there,
i hope you have an answer to this problem, and thanks allready.!
greetings.!

Interesting trying to decipher
 

Josein-

Do you have SP2 for windows xp?
If so, have you made sure that limewire is allowed through your firewall?
What version limewire do you have? Not sure what version you get when you call by phone with 2.50. You might want to make sure it's the official version that you get when you go to www.limewire.com If you get basic, it's free. No phone call or code needed.

4.8.1
is that something possible.???


and i dont know what sp2 is..???
i've checked firewall and Limewire is allowed...


i''m now downloading the one on your site, hope that one is
working...

i've now downloaded Limewire 4.9.29
it still isn't working
the computer gives a message after searching for a movie, that
i'm not connected from Limewire to the internet and Limewire is
searching for a connection, untill then it could be that Limewire isn't possible to find much result.

anyone nows here an answer to.??????????

josien I actually meant to post in the Nederland section b/c it might be easier for you.

Let's start from scratch.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. Do you use any other p2p sharing programs at the same time? If yes what are they?
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

12. Can you answer this question too: Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?
