help! i haven't been able to get into etomi to download music since february. i don't even know if i'm in the right place. i tried asking for help awhile back and was asked about something java and i have no idea what that is. can someone help me? if not, please let me know who to contact so i can get my money back. thanks!

p.s. i already tried that thing about adding the gnutella ports or whatever that was for windows xp.....

I am having the same problem as LEFTSAID FRED. None of the F.S. programs will. I tried quite a few. Bearshare, Shareaza and a few more. I just cant connect. My ISP Is QWEST DSL and Modem Is ACTIONTEC #:GT701-WG With wireless router. If there are any solution a response would be apreciated.

space_silent your modem/router might not be UPnP capable. In which case you should probably manually forward a port for your device. To do so you MUST 1st set up a static ip or else it won't work. For instructions see below:

1. Set up static ip.
2. Forward port 6346 using these instructions: http://www.portforward.com/actiontec/701.htm
3. Within LW, see this: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.

Also make sure your firewall is properly configured to allow LW full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

i don't want to sound like a moron (but i probably do), but all of this static ip, port forwarding stuff makes no sense to me. i'm relatively computer literate, but when it comes to stuff like this, i need stuff broken down step by step. anyone still willing to help? if not, just tell me how to get my money back. thanks!

This was my problem. Hope this helps.

here at work we're using this so called novell surver which makes it possible to do many things and i think it's the one that interferes with my connections, how do i go about getting over it?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

help! im having problems on connecting too. ive had limewire for 3 weeks and im doing fine but when i used it now for searching it says:
"Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network."
ive done any possible thing to fix this but i still get that message and i cant get any download results! HELP!

I've deleted the preference folder, added the Gnutella/Limewire Firewall thingie and still no luck. Any more suggestions?

Thanks

Tamara

tried still does not work, heeeeeelp,

eeek! lol There's lots of repeats here! But I do need to ask yet again.

Do these things:

A. Configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

(if you need to disable Win XP's Firewall in favor of another then: go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box.)

B. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? (If you can't reach that page then your port 6346 is blocked!)

C. Please give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.


If you require Port Forwarding:

* If you have a modem/router that uses NAT but does not utilise Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) then you may need to forward (open) a port. (Check the specifications of your device to find out if it supports UPnP or not! Some only support it in USB mode & some not at all!) See http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm if you equire port forwarding to open up Port 6346 which LW uses by default. Remember the most important thing is to 1st set up a Static ip or else port forwarding won't work! Then forward a port (after choosing model from that site, & selecting port forward, choose LimeWire from the list of programs to open a port for.) Th 3rd step is this: Within LW: - Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.
