Post your details: System details - help us to help you click on link ;)

thanks for nothing mr funny man

Do you have a problem following Forum Rules jashy73. You read them when you first registered here. And they are listed at the top of each section of the forums. As are Sticky threads that you should read before posting. If you want help .. what you think we have ESP or can see your computer set up. Give us a break.

no.. i dont have problem reading the rules. I did and have abide by them?
Was purely asking for help and got a stoopid messege back .
You guys seem a bit uptight?
Great forum! NOT!

Then where is your answer to this? We can't help much if we don't know about your details. As said, we don't have esp. We don't know whether you are using windows or mac or linux, what version LW you are using, what type of modem/router & connection, etc. If you read the forum rules again, you will notice these details are expected to be posted with your post. How are we expected to advise without them.

Actually, this is a very helpful forum where these knowledgable people are nice enough to answer the same basic questions day after day. I don't know why they are willing to do it, but I for one am glad they do. If you bothered to read the info on the link in the first response, you would see that he just needs some info to be able to help you. If you post it, I'm sure they will still be happy to help you, even though you were not so nice.

There are ways of saying things and being sarcastic isnt a very friendly way really is it.
Not all of us are computer literate and struggle to get by, and when we actually ask for help we dont expect stoopid respones.
I can see what kinda forum this is.. male orintated no doubt..
I have now got rid of lime wire as it want worth the bloody effort.. so thanks for nothing guys.
Keep smiling!!! and try to be nice...:rolleyes:

Out of all the moderators on this forum, 6_pac is probably the least likely to be sarcastic. How on earth could you interpret his response to your post as sarcastic? What is wrong with you?

You posted a question about a connection problem, giving no details whatsoever about your computer setup. How are people supposed to help you...are they supposed to guess your details? Crystal ball, maybe? Did you even click on the link that 6_pac provided? If you had read through the post he linked to, you'd have seen that we only ask you to answer whatever questions you can. You didn't even try to answer any. How could anybody help you?

:rofl:
So really...I think you are the one who's given the stoopid response!

"Male orintated" (perhaps you meant oriented/orientated)...LMAO. I'm a woman & I wrote the post (stoopid, no doubt) that 6_pac was linking to.

Try to be nice.

Shame you dont have a yawn icon...

Take a look back, smart alec. This was the first sarcastic remark posted.

1. OS version? windows xp
2. What firewalls you have? windows firewall
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? wireless
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from? house on laptop
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW Pro and 5.0
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? internet explorer...??
10. 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? It says my test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.-- its a local area internet connection, no p2p sharing programs so far
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.-- my first try
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes, but my firewall is turned off

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?

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.

my IPS is Quest

my IPS is quest and the only computer hooked up to a modem is the desktop in another room. its a Quest modem w/ wireless and the laptop I'm on is wireless and only plugged into an outlet
