1-way Satellite & Proxy Settings
 

I was advised to give Limewire a try by a friend.

Firstly, I have read ALL the 'Connection Problems' stickys & threads ;-)

I use a Proxy 5 connection with Kazaa & Win MX - no problems at at - both connect within 10 seconds of startup.

Gnutella port connections added as advised - still no connection.

XP ICF also disabled completely - still the same.

What am I missing ??


BTW - Limewire connects 1st time, every time on 56k / no proxy

does LW know you have a proxy?
go to tools, options, advanced, proxies than fill all the proper information in

Yep, proxy settings entered correctly, just as in Kazaa & MX :

Socks 5 : 193.251.135.104 / Port 1080

Just get a message saying 'check you are connected to the internet' or words to that effect......

Very frustrating :mad:

maybe you need to reinstall LW and your proxy
what you need to do when you are reinstalling limewire, to uninstall you go to add/remove programs and uninstall there, than you delete the files, in the limewire folder, which is usually under program files. and the .limewire folder inside of documents and settings.

Hi Peerless

Not enabling a Proxy server (as supplied by the satellite operator), results in all data been received by the modem only - in my case a 56K V90 external.

The whole idea of using 1-way satellite broadband, is to acheive high speed d/l's when you don't have access to phone-line ADSL.

YES, a modem connection works fine, but I am used to 80k+/sec not 5k/sec (5k on a good day ;-) as provided by a dial-up connection.
