 Reistalling Limewire I had Limewire on my last computer, which went to computer heaven a couple of weeks ago, but on that computer (Windows 98) Limewire ran spot on, but since I reinstalled it on my new computer (Windows XP) I cannot get it to work, for instance, if I put in a basic search ie: "Charlotte Church" the search comes back with nothing, I have installed/uninstalled/reinstalled at least 4 times and I still get nothing, any advice would be more than welcome. Thankyou !  |

| 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); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) 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? Can you give us a total desciption 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? 10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. |

Please do the other tests I requested!  Also see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28427 Last edited by Lord of the Rings; August 5th, 2005 at 04:41 PM. |
