Bug Report
 

I tried that bug report thing and it says that I am false. I am on a max osx, where do I go from here? I swear it looks like I enabled my firewall to limewire. Thanks alot

I can't understand why you keep creating new threads when we were discussing this issue in an earlier thread. See this: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml You may have OSX setup as a firewall (by default it's turned off), but more likely you have a router or other firewall. You need to tell us.

Don't understand
 

Sorry, I'm new to this forum, I think I was hitting new thread instead of post reply. I have seen the mac help page for disabling firewall and have run through it several times. I am still getting a "false" in my bug report. What else can I do to make sure it is disabled. When I click connect, it tries for like five minutes, then says disconnected. Thank you.

It sounds as though there's a firewall/router b/w your comp & the net. Is your comp connected directly or are you going thru a network? Do you have a router? Have you checked with your ip supplier whether they block p2p apps?

I am connected through what I assume is a network because it it through a college dorm. I do not know computers very well, so I don't really know what to tell you about the rest. I'm not sure what a router is.

That is potentially a major problem. More than likely there will be a firewall on the network. You may need to force your way thru the firewall/try another port. There's several threads that've discussed this issue. Do a search for dorm or dormitory or college or school or firewall on the forum. A router allows several comps to connect to the net simultaneously. They generally have a firewall fx.

hi there

I'm getting the same bug report. i'm connected at home via a wireless broadband connection. could that be the problem?

thanks for your help

Can you supply some more details about your comp specifics, os version, & whether you have any firewall/router, etc. I guess it depends on where this block is coming from - but we 1st need to know as many details as possible.

thanks for coming back so quick
 

windows xp, windows firewall disabled, NIS firewall set to permit all traffic from javaw.exe, running a wireless broadband connection from Wanadoo in the UK. can access the internet via this connection.

it keeps on asking me which dial-up connection i want to use, and the only modem in the settings pop-up is the dial-up modem.##do i need to point limewire to the wireless modem, and if so, how do i do it?

thanks for any help you can provide!!

I appologise I'm not the best person to answer this issue. However, since you're a Wanadoo user, you might want to do a search for Wanadoo to pick up on some points. Hopefully someone else with better connection knowledge will save the day!
