southflboi1972, A few other people have had problems with HughesNet. Looks like they changed their FAP around mid April...is that when you started having trouble? The Fair Access Policy (FAP) Read through this thread also, see if anything helps. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...irewalled.html Try this version of Java. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install this one. Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 You could try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (or something in the range of 49152 - 65535) > Apply > ok. You could also delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. Did you always see the firewall icon? That's probably from your modem but AFAIK there's no way of setting up port forwarding for that unless you can set up a static IP (which involves changing plans) & add a router. The thread below is long but gives a lot of info;) broadband help » Forums » HughesNet Satellite » [HN7000S] UTorrent problem, port closed, no router, how do I ope |
