Hi,

I have a problem connecting to the network with limewire on Windows Vista Home Premium. since I have a dual boot system I tried going back to XP Home and limewire DID connect.
So what is the deal with Vista?. Anyone help, please.

Please give us your details.
System details - help us to help you (click here)

I don't see how my system details are relevant in my case as I said that in my Dual Boot system, Limewire works on XP, but not on Vista on the same computer with the same connections and the same programs.

but anyway, here are my details.

1. OS version? Vista Home Premium
2. What firewalls you have? Windows firewall
3. How much ram? 2gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 72 and 180
5. Connection type? broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? none
7. Where are you trying to connect from? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? the latest 4.12 and 1.69.

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? didn't work under vista but did work in XP
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. no
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? yes, but it is unblocked by windows firewall.

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPNP is enabled even without a router present
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ZONEALARM with firewall disabled
