You have connection problems.
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)
Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
Version XP media edition
2. What firewalls you have? not sure if they are running
3. How much ram? 228GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 199 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) braodband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys 2.4
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, 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.
LW 4.8
java 1.4.2
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.- having problems 3 days
12. After LW's been open for at least 15 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If false, then you have a firewall issue. Either your softw firewall or your modem/router. |  |
