(eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) XP service pack 2 2. What firewalls you have ? Windows firewall is off but running McAfee Security Centre. Limewire has full access privileges (people can and are uploading from me) 3. How much ram ? 1gb RAM 4. Hard Disk space available ? 130gb 5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ? Broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ? BT Voyager 105 ADSL modem (no router) 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.) ? Home 8. What version,LimeWire & Java,Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? Limewire 4.12.11 Pro Java 1.5.0_11 (old one deleted and new reinstalled ) 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? AOL 10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? Your Test Worked 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Not as far as I know 12. Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? Had LW 3 years ago on same connection different computer at speeds of 250+ (getting 64 at the mo but can’t find all the tweak info that I used back then) 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? Brick wall is showing. Windows firewall is off but running McAfee Security Centre. I do have a turbo charged connection all blue bars showing 14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? Limewire has full access privileges (people can and are uploading from me) 15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? Windows firewall is off Other info:- Phillips Freevents MT1700 Computer Pentium D 820 (I think dual core 2.80 Ghz)
I have just downloaded a file and checked the timings etc file was 40.5MB in 1.15 sec at 554KB/sec (don't know if this helps at all, sorry) Any help would be greatly appreciated TracieB x
