connection problems (Mac OSX)
 

I thought it was my old computer but i could never connect limewire. I recently just got a new computer (mac osx) and when i first install the program i can connect and download stuff, but after i quit and say the next day i try and connect again it wont connect. if i uninstall and then reinstall it will connect but its a pain in the butt. Is anyone else having this type of problem?

maybe it's a bad java configuration.

do you know how to see if it is?

click on the help>about limewire, report here what it says.

Give LW plenty of time to connect. Also if it doesn't connect. Close, then try agan 15+ mins later.

It might be worth deleting your LW preferences folder whilst LW is closed, found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Hi,

Im also having problems. I just got a new mac book pro with os x 10.4.10 and donloaded the latest limewire (4.14.8) and I get the connection problem as a result of the firewall (wall in front of the globe icon).

I followed some earlier advice and went into my system settings, created the port name "Gnutella/Limewire" with the 6436 numbers. nothing happens.

However, what am I supposed to put in the Limewire Firewall Preferences? Right now, its on the default "27095 listen on port" and defaulted to "Use UPnP" recommended setting. Grayed out, in an un checked setting is "27095" manual port forward (not selected).

i am running on my airport card via a router which i dont no too much about. however, my old computer, worked and ran limewire just fin on it.

thanks for any help anyone can provide.
