[patrick1105]

Hello everybody, i'm from holland and my english isn't very well..
i've a problem with my limewire. I've a new pc, and i download limewire, and then he said: The LimeWire online installer will now try to download files necessardy for installation. If you have a firewall and see a warning please allow the installer access to the internet. Press OK to continue. I press on the OK button, and than: please wait... if there is nog progress for several minutes, please restart the installer. He does it a serval seconds later, and then it goes very slow.. to 0 kbps. And he doesn't do it. My internet is well. He's now on 253 KB of 3025 KB, but he don't do it anymore. My internet is also down now... If i close limewire installation then, my internet do it..
I've also limewire Pro, and he does it well, but i can't make any connection. My internet doesn't do it then again! Can please someone help me? Without any Limewire my connection is good. Thankyou..

Hi Patrick man.
Lets see what we can do.

System details - help us to help you Please.

Cut n paste these Questions,put your answers in bold text Thank You.

Recently there's been a problem with people not providing enough details about their setup - despite being asked again & again.
So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:

1. what OS version? (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista)
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 (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.) ?
8. What version,LimeWire & Java,Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.?
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ?
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.?
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ?
14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ?
15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.?

These are all contained within the sticky Connection problems? Check here first!
but possibly some people are getting a bit confused or lost when we direct them to this sticky & ask them to provide their details.

This information can be vital
For instance, some ISPs are known for blocking p2p/throttling bandwidth,
some connection devices are known for being unreliable in certain situations.

So please, help us to help you & provide as much info as you can.
If you're new to LW or new to computers & aren't sure how to answer some questions,
or don't know what an ISP or router is - just say so. Nobody's going to yell at you:wink:
Even if you can't answer all the questions in one go...don't worry. Do the best you can & we'll take it from there.

Hi Patrick.

Have a look at this link, Wanadoo may be your problem.
