changing connections
 

I found out my comp can connect to a wireless network, my aol does not want to connect on it tho, is there a way for my limewire to connect on it cuz its a hell of a lot faster, how do i change my connection?
:confused:

Can you do it without AOL. AOL is reknown for problems with LW.

well, i connect to the internet through aol so theres no other way to connect on lime wire, im asking if there is a way to connect to lime wire straight through the wireless connection

There should be a way. If it's a wireless network then you'll need a wireless network card or similar external device. Can you tell us more about this network & what devices they use & how many computers are already on the network & whether any of them use LW? Is this at work or home or school? In theory it should be possible but it depends on a no. of factors. Such as whether the netwk has any blocking of p2p share use, etc. Your comp address would also need to be added to the netwk main machine I think AFAIK. I know not much about networking.

the network is called NETGEAR it is a peer to peer network, and my comp is connected to it, i just dont know how to use it

So you're connected to it. But can you access the internet thru it at all. If not, then you'll need to get the person who is in charge of the network to add your computer as one of the comp's with an internet ability. Whether you require port forwarding is yet to be seen. It will depend on the Netgear device model. Routers tend to use internal like firewalls (called NAT) that block ports except those used for browsing. If it is Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) capable then that should take care of that issue since LW would be able to communicate with it to open a port for it.

Whilst you're connected to the network do this simple test for us (keep LW open at the same time.) Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
