Go to your LW menu Options>Bug Report & press View Example. I think your version of LW has that option. See this link for image example Post back & tell us if it's True/False. At least with a dial up it's highly unlikely you'll have a router, right? Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Normally in your situation whilst LW is closed, you should delete your LW Prefs called .limewire which are found listed at the top in the system preferences folder when viewed in list mode. Also make sure you have the most recent java version for OS 9.2 If you have 9.2.2 update to MRJ 2.2.6 for OS 9.2.2 OR MRJ 2.2.5 for OS 8.1-9.2

As far as your dwnlds go Your LW Dwnld Folder can be found if you go to LW's menu Options>Saving this will tell you the name & location of this folder. If you also share this folder, it should be listed in the LW Library window where you can highlight a file within it & use the Explore button which will open the foldr for you.

I forgot to mention, before you delete the LW prefs, make anote of all your option settings. Once you've deleted the prefs you'll need reset them. If LW dwnlds become a bit stuffy, deleting the prefs can often fix it.

yes my dorm problebly has a firewall, but it dos not matter I installed bearshare insted and it works fine (so far). But thanks anyway.

If something works (anything) it's because it probably uses a port that isn't blocked by the firewall set by te IT dep... Try using the same port that Bear uses with LW

Thanks for replying. I did download MRJ 2.6.6 but when I tried to install I got a dialog box that said:

The file "Svensk" already on "Macintosh HD" is more recent than what you are about to install. . .



So do I still want to install this MRJ 2.6.6?

Bearshare is using the same port as Limewire (6346). So I do not understand why it works for Bearshare but not for Limewire. I think I will just keep Bearshare (it is also a Gnutella Client).

HELP! I've been fighting this for 3 days and I'm ready to take a hammer to this computer. My problem is when I try and connect, everything appears to be working for 6 to 8 seconds and then I get disconnected. I've read through the forums and tried the fixes recommended but to no avail. Here is a list of what i've already done and know.
I completely deleted McAfee off my home computer.
I am running WindowsME
I use a wireless network to my ISP
My connection speed is 512k
They do not block Gnutella
I do not have a router
I looked at the bug report example and it states"Received incomming this session: False."
I do not think I am going through a proxy server. How can I tell?
I've totally re-loaded limewire Pro.
If I have another firewall enabled on my PC, I cant find it.
I ran the new jar as suggested.

Can anyone help? PLeeeeease

Go here & tell us what happens: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ Where are you trying to connect from; home, school, work, etc. ? You said this has been happening for 3 days. Did you install anything new in the weeks before that? Have you updted your Java?

I've been having major issues with limewire for the last few days too, but not just limewire. Gnutella in general. When limewire died, I tried a few others that checked multiple networks and they also could not contact gnutella. Someone on one of the user groups for one of the programs sent out an updated 'stable nodes' list that when put in the appropriate folder, made that program connect to gnutella, but limewire is still hopeless...I might get an unstable connection to a handfull of files to search, but nothing downloads. Is it possible that some outside influence is messing with the major 'nodes'/important IPs? for. ex. blocking them some way to disturb the network?

my ISP does not block this service and I have a 2 mbit connection so I have enough bandwidth, but am not getting connected. Have also removed limewire entirely, reinstalled, run system tools to clean up system and so on.

Please do 2 things, 1st run the Bug Report check (Click this link for image example) & report back your results; True/False. 2. Provide us your OS version, connection type (& your modem & router brands & model no.'s), where you are trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.) Do yo know which version of Java you have? Haave you installed anything recently before LW started having problems?
