birdy i believe i've configured windows firewall off and norton allowing lw already.. no luck.. how do i look for the specs of my modem/router? |
Try reinstalling LW again. You could also try the Beta version & see if that opens (you can download the Beta from your personal download page). The wireless adapter that you're using doesn't have a firewall. But if you're connecting wirelessly through a router or modem-router, that might have an internal firewall. To check, go to the other computer & see what devices are plugged into that. Maybe another D-Link device? |

The D-Link Airplus G DWL-G510 is a wireless adapter & it allows your computer to connect to a modem/router for access to the internet. The adapter that you have in your PC doesn't have a firewall so that's not the culprit. Is the other computer with the other D-Link device in another room? Can you go & have a look at it & give me the model number? Then I'll be able to tell you if it has an internal firewall. Did you try reinstalling LW & if so, does it open now? |
tried reinstalling the lw beta version, still no luck.. but before i did that, i didn't delete the lw pro.. if a window asked me there's an old version, i just clicked 'ignore'.. wonder if i did the right thing, or should i delete all lw files before reinstalling?.. the modem from the other computer (in another room) is Motorola SM56 speakerphone modem.. what do you think?.. |
You should let the installer remove the previous LW version. Go to start > all programs > limewire & use the uninstall option from there to remove the LW versions you have now. Don't try to uninstall through add/remove programs, that will cause problems. Now reinstall LW. That modem sounds like an internal modem (inside the computer). Are there any external devices (outside the computer)? |
i uninstalled lw already, tried to reinstall but can't because there's a running version accordingly.. :confused:.. umm birdy, i still saw some program files in my hard disk (executable jar files, etc about 21MB size) that i can't delete because it says lw is running, but i don't see any lw software open or running in my system.. the motorola modem is located outside the computer, so i guess it's an external modem.. do you think things will be normal if i use internet explorer browser instead? |
birdy, have u given up on me? :-( |
Open task manager, click on the Processes tab & see if there's a LW process running. If there is, end the process. Did you uninstall LW via add/remove programs? Otherwise, try the advice here to remove the files. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/275825-post7.html If you still can't delete the leftover LW files, try rebooting into safe mode & see if they'll delete. Safe mode As I said, I can only find info about an internal modem with that model number. What's the model of the other D-Link device...you never did say. I use Firefox & it has no negative effect on LW but if you want to try going back to IE...go for it. See if there's any change. |
it's working perfectly now.. :yahoo: thanks birdy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
