Did The Fixes Step By Step, Still No Luck :(
 

Wassup. Alright well i've looked through all these threads and i've seen a lot of people with similar to the same problem i have, only mine is stuck on LOADING WINDOWS PLAYLIST instead of LOADING USER INTERFACE or LOADING USER HTML or wuddever.. But yeah the limewire logo just sits there, the little bar moves back and forth, no progress, and yeah im sure everyone knows. Ok I've looked at the "How to fix the loading problem" thread and followed the instructions step by step. Deleted the .limewire folder, downloaded the java 5.11, uninstalled limewire, reinstalled the offline LW 4.12.11, changed the compatibility to windows 2000, and un-hid the Application Data where i found another limewire folder. Deleted that also. I don't know what else to do. My computer works fine. Windows XP, 512 ram, 80 GB, dsl broadband.. Not sure what other information i need to give, but i really need some help and i'd really appreciate it. I'm sick of using bearshare!! ...lol

Can you supply these details please...

1. Windows XP
2. I have Norton Symatec Anti Virus but no firewall
3. 512 ram
4. I have 54.7 GB available
5. Dsl broadband
6. Linksys Router
7. House
8. LW 4.12.11, Java JRE 5.11
9. SBC Yahoo
10. Yes the test worked
11. Im on a LAN at my house. Theres 1 computer and my computer and a laptop are running off a router.
12. I've had limewire before and it worked fine. Then all of a sudden it started slowing down my computer. Thats when i uninstalled it and started using bearshare. Got tired of bearshare so i downloaded limewire again and thats when the problem began.
13. Yes i see the little wall.
14. I don't know much about how my routers set up. All i know is it works and limewire worked before so i can't see how it'd be a problem. But if that can really be the case i'll try and find out.

It could be your Linksys Router, it's probably got a Nat Firewall in it...Could you give me the model number for it, so I can check it out and if it has I can give you the instructions to Port Forward...;)

Alright well heres some info. Under my network connections i have this.


Local Area Connection 3

Connected, Firewalled

Linksys LNE 100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter(LNE 100TX v4) #2


And then theres some other info i don't want to give out like my IP address and all that. Was this what you needed?

No that's not it...If you turn your router upside down it will say Linksys and a number...
eg. Linskys WRT54G

Linksys Wrt54g
Version 1.1

Here are your instructions to open a port for limewire to use...;)
