no i haev not.

ok, im having a hard time reading what you say, but i do understand them, possible you type fast. I a fast-typer... yea i made some mistake... it happens.

maybe you dont connect enough to host. For Basic, you only connect up to 8 host, for your problem, i think you connect to 2 or 3 host.

well for starter.

and all basic.
they all can download anything in about 2mins MAX
and i cant even connect 24h later...

took mee 24h for real andddd still didnt connect.
i dont know what is wrong ple try to help me more

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
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 (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. 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?

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)

There might be an issue with your router so please supply the above details.

Ok here it goes
