I did everything in #49 and got LW to connect, but now nothing downloads...back to the drawing board!

Just check this...Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and then select apply...

worked for me...
 

ok I have tried all of the above I have even uninstalled Mcafee completely! and i now have avast. It still doesn't connect! Any thing else I can do?? The play buttons on the bottom of limewire is black and you can't see the buttons. I have DSL and I am always connected to the internet...I also have Vista.

OK, "calm down" does anyone have an answer or suggestion that I could use for this problem....I have Vista and I had Mcafee I have uninstalled Mcafee completely and installed avast.....I still can't get lw to work also i tried to go to the site were it test it won't even open the page and I get a message that says that my windows firewall is configured to allow this connection however thier is a remote firewall that might be blocking it, and if I have access to it then configure it to allow connections through TCP port 6346. Ok I don't know how to do this or how to even start looking where I need to do this. If anyone can help please let me know.

had the same problem but I had to go into my internet connection and change it so that it would connect to the limewire network and I also uninstalled mcafee and installed Avast anti-virus and now LW works!! You can try that.

I have the same problem but I don't run McAffe I run the Norton Internet protection thing.
I've gone and manually opened a port with the ID code IN LW for their port, and still nothing.
I've approved it with Vista's "Approved for FireWall Butt ****ing" list..

Still nothing..
Should I just go and download Avast and uninstall Norton?

Anyone with Vista Problems, please read!!!!
 

I have been using Vista business for about a year and a half now. I know I've used Limewire on my machine before, but recently, I noticed that that I kept getting the connecting message that alot of you mentioned and it would never connect. I don't use Mcafee, so I knew that wasn't the problem. I use symantec, windows defender and windows firewall. I disabled all of those services(including security center) and I still had the same problem. I downloaded the reccomended java version, still no change. As a matter of fact I tried everything I saw that was applicable to my setup and nothing changed. Then I went to the sticky for people having issues trying to connect and having issues located here:

and tried the very first step, download gnutella.net and delete the old file and put the new file in my folder. As soon as I started limewire I was connected with 4 bars!

Hope this helps!

I'd like to report that with the latest McAfee updates last month Limewire and McAfee work perfectly under Vista. Thnx McAfee crew for the good work. A user from the Netherlands, Europe.
