Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/, what happens when you go there? Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Then I clicked on “diagnose connection problems”, it said windows cannot repair automatically & I was redirected to Windows Help & Support. I clicked on Windows Vista Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool & got this report: IGDEvaluators Version. 1.3.5.0 - Report Test 1 - Basic Internet Connectivity Test – SUPPORTED Result: Trying to construct an open request to the webpage: /windows/using/tools/igd/StaticContent/igdprobedocs/connectivity/test.txt Received 37 bytes of content from the IGD test server IPv4 Connectivity succeeds through the Internet Gateway Device -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test 2 - Network Address Translator Type - SUPPORTED Result: Trying to resolve the Teredo server IP address The IGD's NAT type is: RESTRICTED CONE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test 3 - Traffic Congestion Test - SUPPORTED Result: Trying to load library nsi.dll Received 28 bytes of content from the test server Restoring the original ECN settings Turning off ECN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test 4 - TCP High Performance Test - SUPPORTED Result: Trying to load library nsi.dll Received 65536 bytes of content from the test server -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test 5 - UPnP Support Test – NOT SUPPORTED Result: The operating system is Windows Vista The firewall is enabled Exceptions are allowed by the firewall UPnP is enabled by the firewall UPnP services are running UPnP Discovery is enabled Detecting Internet Gateway Devices on the network 0 IGD(s) found Failed to find any Internet Gateway Devices -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test 6 - Multiple Simultaneous Connection States Test - SUPPORTED Result: This test attempts to sustain 80 concurrent TCP sessions The Internet Gateway Device sustains 80 concurrent TCP sessions 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Probably yes, with other people, its wireless in a dorm. 12. Is this your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? I have used LW for something like 5 yrs. so I would consider myself experienced. 13. How many red or grey or green bars do you see at bottom left of LW's screen? The bars are all grey, next to the bars it says connecting….. 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Not sure 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc.)? Microsoft Security Essentials 16. What country are you living in? USA 17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc. etc.? I haven’t used LW for over a month, I used to be in a house, now I’m in a dorm, I have the same ISP, Yesterday I went to use LW and it was having this problem of not connecting, so I updated, still the same problem. Then I searched all the forums and tried everything to fix it, still no luck. Here is the list of what I have tried: CHECKED FIREWALL DISCONNECT/RECONNECT LW UPDATE/REINSTALL JAVA UPDATE/UNINSTALL/REINSTALL LW CHANGE LISTEN ON PORT DELETE LIMEWIRE'S PREFERENCES FOLDER DISABLE ULTRAPEER CAPABILITIES, DHT & TLS If a "how to fix-it" was posted on this issue, I tried it. |
