I'm not that great w/ computers, but I've been trying for hours to get a connection, can you help me??

Can you answer a few more of the questions? ;)

What brand and model of router do you have? It should be listed somewhere on there.

What ISP do you have? Your ISP is the company that you pay for your internet.

What version of LW Pro and Java do you have? You can find both of these by opening LW, clicking 'help' and then 'about Limewire'.

Thanks :idea:

Dan

my LW and Java are 4.10.9 Pro and 1.5.0_06

sorry, I dont know which company we pay for the internet, this is me mums comp.

and sorry, like i said im not much pf a computer person, what is a router? i might be able to know if its more specific, lol. thanks!

You have cable internet, right? If you have a router, it would be used to connect several computers on one network. You should also find out what kind of modem you have. The reason is this: modems and routers can have built in firewalls, and if you can't figure out which ones you have, you can't fix the problem (if there is a problem).

Some ISPs can make it difficult to connect, especially during peak usage hours. If you could find out which ISP you have, that could be useful also.

Are there any boxlike looking things connected to your computer that you don't know what they are?

the only modem we have is in another room to a desktop computer. it is a Quest dsl modem w/ wireless. the laptop I am on is wireless and only plugged into an outlet.
