These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. |
I can't connect either. I have...
Windows XP (not SP2)
No firewall. I did figure out after reading this thread that I have the windows firewall running, but I followed the steps provided to (forgive my poor technical discriptions) let gnutella through.
512MB of Ram.
I believe I have 27.5 free GB of HD space.
I have a cable connection.
I am connecting from home with a Cyber Surf Wave modem provided by my ISP (Shaw Cable Systems) and I am connected through another computer with a Netblaster II wireless router.
I was once upon a time able to use Limewire, but one day lost my connection and never got it back- and like others thought that if I paid for Limewire it would work again to no avail. I have used Kazaa and Edonkey before with no problems. I, like everyone else am experiencing the "connecting" message with 1/5 green bars in the bottom left hand corner of my screen.
I clicked on the link provided by LOTR to see if a firewall was a problem and I loaded the page successfully which tells me my firewall is not a problem.
I followed all the steps correctly (I believe)
I have been
1. Closing Limewire
2.Making sure it is shut down from the system tray
3. Deleting the .limewire folder
4. Running Limewire
5 Changing the options from "Automatically connect..." so that it doesn't....(and clicking apply)
6. closing
7. Restarting from the desktop
8. Hitting my head on my desk. Sometimes my wall.
I am prone to user errors, or as my friends like to say ID10T errors.
One thing I have noticed is that it tells me that it can't run something to do with ITunes, which I don't really care about, but it seems abnormal so I thought I would report it here. If it makes a difference, I will try to get the message again if you need to know the exact details.
