Limewire doesn't work since upgrade to Leopard I have upgraded to OS X 10.5.1 and Limewire doesn't get past the first bar in connection quality. Will not search BUT will automatically download a Bitorrent file if I click on it in Finder!!?! I am using Limewire Pro 4.16.2 with Java 1.5.0_13 (according to About Limewire). Had no problems when on OS X 10.4.11 using Limewire 4.14 might it work properly if I downgrade back to 14.4? HELP :bangh: The frustration is really bad! |
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...sx-10-5-a.html but at least the program is opening for you. OSX Firewall settings for Tiger which will be similar instructions. (a) If LW Will Not Connect, __ (b) Problems with the search, __ (c) Hostiles List |

I think I've tried everything - but who knows? System details: 1. OS version? Mac OSX 10.5.1 (Leopard) 2. What firewalls you have? Little Snitch and NetBarrier X4r 3. How much ram? 1Gb 4. Hard Disk space available? 8Gb on Startup disk, 27Gb on secondary HD 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Thomson Speedtouch 530 modem with Asante Router Model FH305 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Limewire 4.16.2, Java 1.5.0_13 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Tiscal (UK) 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? Got 'Your Test Worked' 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 2 other Macs with OSX10.4.11 and a PC with XP 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.New problem since going to new Limewire and OSX 10.5.1 at the same time (Limewire works fine on my son's and my wife's macs with 10.4.11) 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes, and can't get rid of it even if I deactivate ALL firewalls 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?Tried it both ways (usually set up with UPnP enabled) 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall VirusBarrier X4 16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). U.K. This might help the guys who are (I hope) trying to sort out the problem. |

Try these things one by one to see if they have any effect: (a) disable Little Snitch. I've heard of it causing problems before. (b) Is OSX firewall on or off? If using another firewall then disable OSX's firewall (you will find it in System prefs, Network -> Firewall tab). Make sure you allowed LW, Gnutella & the port range you are using thru on the firewall rules for the NetBarrier X4r. (c) Go to LW's Preferences > Advanced > Firewalls, & change the port to another. Good ones to try are between 49152 - 65535, such as port 64049. |
