cannot connect to network using vista?
 

i have recently bought a new laptop, an acer aspire 5920. it runs real smooth and it does everything i want it to do, except for connecting to the gnutella network. unfortunately vista was installed on the laptop, which i think is one of the most irritating operating systems there is. i have disabled windows firewall and have configurated zonealarm in such a way that it should allow limewire to connect to the network (i'm using 4.14 by the way). but for some reason limewire, and also forstwire 4.13, indicates that i am still behind a firewall:confused:
i already checked other threads to find a solution for my problem but i can't find anything. also i've checked whether i can connect with port 6346 and this isn't a problem. when i used win98 before limewire always runned perfectly, so at least i can say that there is nothing wrong with my internet connection, modem or internet provider. please help because i really don't know what to do anymore:(


greetings from the netherlands:super:

I'm interested in this as well. I'm on Vista Home Premium. I've used Limewire for a long time on XP and never had any issues. I've tried ver. 4.14 and the beta with no luck. Any help?

and now it even gets a lillte more weird...for some reason i CAN make use of the chat function in frostwire but NOT to the network:confused: shouldn't the chat function be a part of the gnutella network? and if i am able to chat, why can't i download anything??? help needed

i've found the answer. i've downloaded mp3 rocket 5.0. it works similar to limewire

Limewire
 

I NEED HELP...DOWNLOADED LIMEWIRE 2 MONTHS AGO...RESENTLY I STARTED GETTING THIS MESSAGE "LIMEWIRE IS CURRENTLY CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK. YOUR SEARCH MAY NOT RETURN MANY RESULTS UNTIL YOU ARE FULLY CONNECTED TO THE NETWORK." I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA...I'VE TRIED UNINSTALLING AND REINSTALLING LIMEWIRE AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM.:bangh:
