parental controls
 

I have parental controls set up on my computer but want my son to be able to download music. I have set the parental controls to allow access to the limewire site but it still won't let him download anything. What am I doing wrong? I am running Windows XP

You don't actually download anything from the Limewire site, it's p2p which means once you have the software you connect to millions of other computers and download from them....

Your problem could be one of many..
Could you provide these details...


Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows xp)
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. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
