one of yr firewalls, zone alarm or yr router is blocking limewire from connecting -- switch off zone alarm and see if you can connect if you can then the fault is zone alarm if you cant then the fault is the router -- if the fault is zone alarm try these settings here:-(if you have zonealarm firewall try this)

ok i tryed the advice that u gave and it stil ist working, i am still only getting the one bar of signal, and the message that say ur not connected!! but i just remembered when i was installing it, it wasent letting me insalll 4 of the files, it said something like cannot install this file....... CANCEL to abort, RETRY to Retry, and IGNORE to just pass this and move on tothe next file.. so i just clicked ignore. and i had to click ignore for 4 of these files mayb this has something to do with why it isnt wantiing to connect!!!

mayb there is still some hope out there for me

Brendan

yes that's possibly the reason you are not connecting -- you haven't installed all the Limewire files -- suggest you uninstall using Limewire uninstall and not the add/remove programs -- you will find it here -- start -> All Programs -> Limewire -> Uninstall. -- After doing this go to your limewire folder and delete it -- you will find it here -- you must show all hidden files:- click on limewire link below (how to show hidden files in windows vista) C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire
now download/reinstall LimeWire

i have uninstalled it the way that u wnted me to and when i installed it again it brings uip the same message saying that it cannot install those files??
is there ne other solution?

Brendan

ok - I dont know why this is happening -- can you download/install a different version of Limewire Then re-install limewire using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...Lime Wire » Download LimeWire
