Limewire Now Connects Despite ZoneAlarm
 

Limewire Now Connects Despite ZoneAlarm

After contacting Limewire support in regards to Version 3+ not connecting to Gnutella, I was told that it was a problem with ZoneAlarm.

Well, that's why I have ZoneAlarm and Adaware active.... to prevent illegal intrusions onto my computer. Me thinks that the Limewire programmers have added data mining etc to version 3+ because I solved my connection problem by un-installing Limewire 3+ and re-installing Version 2.6.5. It connects without a hitch!!!

where did you get that version of lime...Also I tried kazaa but it told me to uninstall my as blocker (which I don't have) and imesh is all full of bugs.help help help

could it be that a while back you told zonealarm to allow 2.6.5 through and later forgot to tell it to let 3.x through?

maybe that's why 2.6.5 works and 3.x doesnt.

check your zonealarm settings

2.6.5 is obsolete and i think newer versions don't connect to it any more, so you're probably connected to a fairly small network of vintage limewires, with a fairly small amount of total shared files. it would make sense to get 3.x to work.
