Ok. Windows firewall is disabled and I completely shut down Zone alarm and was able to get a "fair" connection, then I tried turning Zone alarm back on and the connection dropped to poor...then about 30 seconds later it disconnected.

Am I jsut going to have to turn off Zone alarm when i want to down load? Is that going to put my computer at risk? Is there anything else that can be configured in Zone alarm that would allow me to run it and Limeware at the same time.

And...will I ever be able to get a full strong connection again?

prior to about a month ago I ran zone alarm and limeware simulanteously and never had a problem. So whats different now?

Worked great for me WinXP.
Have to delete EVERY folder once you find the .limewire directory.

i also have been having a terrible time getting and staying connected. i tried everything that has been suggested here but to no avail. one thing i noticed was that every time i deleted owner/limewire file, i had to go back and change my options because most of the files i am sharing are not in the shared folder. finally, i moved all the files into the shared folder and i have not had a problem since. it may just be a coincidence but may be worth trying.

v_amber61 do you want to tell us what your problem is? See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29 & supply us all details incl. connection devices (modem/routers) & where you're connecting from.

So still no fix for the connection problem. I tried again today shutting down zone alarm and then trying to connect but it did not work. This is so frustrating. Maybe zone alarm isn't the problem if turning it off didn't not help this time.


Should i just give up on limeware? Is there anything else that can fix this?

Did you do the XP SP2 update? Search forum for sp2. For zone alarm see link at the bottom of the page at http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml You still haven't told us the model of your modem & router. Please forward these details. The soonner you provide ALL details the sooner we can sort this. Rather than waiting to ask you bit by bit.

I have just deleted Kazaa, becourse it was to slow and kept crashing. But it was at lest able to connect. I have delete the .limewire directory (located at c:\windows). And I have completely shut down Norton. But it is still not working. I am accessing the internet trough a local server at my dormitory (I do not know what routers etc. we are using but the server is unix-based).
I still have:
recieved incoming this session: false (I do not have a firewall)

I have limewire 4.1.10 and windows 95 secondt edition

please help

You may not have a firewall but your dorm almost surely has one that blocks P2P connections. Ask the dorm's IT dep for more info.

I'm on a Mac g4, 9.2 os running Limewire 3.5.8 on a dial up connection. I lost the ability to download so I scrapped Limewire and reloaded it. I can connect but it appears I can't share my files although I have selected in options the folders that contain my music files. I've tried downloading but when the file is complete I can't find it saved in the chosen directory or anywhere else. Before this happened the last thing I was downloading was a file that gave me the "this file has a glitch" message but I chose to continue downloading the file because this had not caused a problem in the past. Could this be what corrupted me? I do have Norton file saver. I tried your suggestion in the thread about looking for a fire wall but I could not tell whether there is one there or not. I'm pretty computer illiterate so please make any instructions simple.

Thanks

Forgot. . . I'm using Earthlink btw.
