OK this is a problem that is not real common and is usually a Windows problem the link below will take you to Norbie's World it is a free computer on line diagnostic site I occasionally go to the site and read the forums when there is a problem here I can not figure out.

You will have to register there and they will have you run some test for them and diagnose you problem. And hopefully find a solution. Could you post back here and let us know how it goes.

yes limeware this is a limewire forum is it not

Apparently Norton missed a few viruses. Norbie sent me to an online scanner that found them. Now Limewire works. Thanks for the help Grandpa.

Thanks for letting us know

You really need to learn how to write a good thread I am not sitting in front of your computer and I am not telepathic.

Therefore I or most likely anyone else in this forum know what you are talking about. If you are having a problem and you need help then you are going to have to do a better job of explaining you problem. A lot more information is going to be needed including a accurate description of you problem.

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. 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?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml
