Connecting to the network Hello all, I am obviously a newbie and am having problems with Limewire. Downloaded it yesterday and have been fiddling about with things since then, referring to similar posts!
When I start Limewire it says I am currently connecting to the network. This doesn't change. The first bar on the lower left is green, the others red. I have followed the advice about ports on my firewall but am getting nowhere. Even disabling my firewall completely still results in the same connecting status. Limewire still states a firewall is detected.
My o/s is Windows XP Pro SP2
I connect via a cable modem (USB)
I connect from home
Limewire 4.10.3. Java (1.5.0_06)
My ISP is NTLWORLD (UK)
I have the Windows firewall. (I have added the Gnutella ports detailed in Limewire to my firewall and checked the boxes)
I have Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition (this does not have internet security)
Never tried Limewire or any other P2P application before.
I would be very grateful if anyone has any other suggestions to help me out.
Thanks in anticipation ! |
