I have windows xp im trying to connect from home im not sure of the ram or the what fire walls, the only fire wall things i can think of are the ones for aol and all the internet stuff, i have a dial up connection, i have lime wire pro 14.12.3 and java 1.5.0_06, there IS a wall infront of the globe down the bottom, this is a first problem ive had with a downloading agent and im not that experienced, my internet service provider is AOL, when i did the test you suggested it said it worked, im not sharing the connection with any other computer.

You'll need to configure windows firewall to allow limewire access to the internet. Directions in this link: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml.

Some of AOL's anti-spyware(Pest patrol) may detect limewire as spyware. You may need to make an exception for LW.

Your on dial-up, so you don't have much bandwidth to play with. Follow Grandpa's advice in this thread on how to best configure LW: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...-up#post175733

i have high speed internet. the problem with this link [http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...rewalls.shtml] is the 1st and 2nd step cuz i CANT get into limewire at all soo i can click tools and ****. the rest of the stepz i can do. and without gettin into limewire i cant get the internal & exteranl numbers or whatever. thnx for the help!

LW's default port is 6346... give that a try

that number didnt work! and i bought limewire pro and it STILL doesnt work. this message comes up "LimeWire was unable to initalize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking limewires acess to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow limewire acess to the internet and restart limewire." And those links you guys gave me dont work because in the step 1 & 2 it says go into limewire and that is the problem i cant soo i duno the internal and external port numbers.. they rest i can do. PLEASE HELP MEE! =(

Maybe it's time you gave some details The connection problems link in my post #4 will tell you what info we need!!

i went thru the steps. i dont have any firewalls on my computer. i have high speed internet. 248 RAM. Windows Xp. i had norton virus thingy but i got rid of it a long time ago. AOL had a firewall but i deleted that also. soo windows should be my only firewall. i jus got my ipod bak && im tryin to put on songz but i cant cuz limewire doesnt work =(
