I run windows 2000 professional, and I do NOT have firewalls period. I am permanently connected through an LAN provider. LimeWire still will not connect after attempting all of these procedures. I would suggest maybe the developing team of this program go back to the drawing board because the new version does NOT work !

im using XP... its updated... java is updated too and ive tried every version of LW... program starts up... then shuts down seconds later... any suggestions... nothing on the forums that i have tryed has worked so far... so i dont know what to do at this point..

daduh are you sure it's not a firewall issue? XP has it's own firewall. It needs to be set to allow java & LW to pass! To quote the child of the Olympics God, murasame Go to Limewire->Preferences and click on the Bug Reports selection. There, click for an example and scroll down to the part where it says: Recieved incoming this session. If it says true then Limewire does not have a problem from Firewall. If it says false, Firewall(s) are blocking the connection. I hope this helps in figuring the cause of your problem.

I also could not connect after following all the suggestions.
I found my Norton Anti-virus was blocking the connection even though "automatic program control" was enabled.

I DONT HAVE WINZIP...AND I DONT WANT TO BUY IT WHAT SHOULD I DO..? AND HOW DO YOU GET TO THE PREFRENCE DICTIONARY??......

It worked ! and in an instant, thanks for the fix

I have probably spent about4 hours reading and trying all the fixes none have worked I spent 29.95 for this I'm so frustrated I have win 2000 pro I don't know what else to do I have norton virus and firewall but i disabled both of them. All I want is 2 songs for a meeting tomorrow I should have just bought them.

I have a time constraint so If anyone out there could download and send to me 2 songs I would really appreciate it the songs are the love of money by the O Jay's and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor please send to *** thank you

I can't answer your last part b/c it is against the forum rules to post such questions & answers.

Did you pay $29.95 US dollars for LW Pro? If yes, where did you purchase it from? The price of LW Pro is only $18.88! You should only purchase LW Pro at the official website which is: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

See this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=3 & if see if this applies to you.

I forgot to mention earlier, in the meantime try out the standard free version 4.0.8 or the beta 4.1.5(see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hreadid=27672.)

Well there u go. Try to help somebody. I dwnlded the tunes & sent them to u via 2 techniques & both were rejected. I suspect this was a dud request. The address doesn't check out.

What's more I'm wondering why I received a passwd request to enter this page & few afterwards. I bit suspicious moderators.

Lord
thanks for the effort it wasn't a dud request and the address works fine kath sent me the 2 songs everything worked out great as far as requesting password I don't understand I sure didn't. I still can't connect I don't understand why but to tired now to deal with it.
