I just can't connnect, i use windows xp, connect through dsl, i have tried deleting the LW pref folder, doesn't work, turned off firewall, stopped gettin a message, for awhile, then got it again, it said "Limewire cannot connect because no may not have an active internet connection or a firewall is blocking it." then it said cannot connect.... problems with port. I am so confused

Plz help me

will sum1 actually post a reply instead of just looking at this thread, plz reply

Now LW just sits and says connecting, i don't know wut's going on but if u haven't read my previous threads, i have Windows XP, LW version 4.2.2, and connect with DSL, won't anyone help me?

Give it some time, it may take a day to get an answer, it's not like someone is always monitoring new posts. Took a day and a half to get an answer to my question.

Wait no more! lol Can you tell us some details about the OS version, connection type & device brands & model no.'s you use, all firewalls you have, which version of LW, & where you are trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? By the way did you read any of the stickies in the connection index or any other section stickies? Providing us these details in the 1st place saves time & so you solve your issue much faster. Otherwise how are we supposed to know what your problem is.

OK I've found your other posts. Please stick to the rules & post only one thread about a single issue! Otherwise we'll ignore you! See Forum Rules (Read Me -click here!)

I have XP I think SP2, i connect through DSL, over a LAN ask if u need more




-Ask and you shall be told, knock and the door shall be opened.

I have Limewire 4.2.2, i have a VPR Matrix Insignia, i have shut down my firewalls

OK thankyou. If you could try very hard to answer the questions in my previous post it will certainly help towards finding your problem. It means you might need to look your devices upside down or to the side, etc. to find out the info, but it's important.

I'm not sure but what you mean by LW 4.2.2 b/c it hasn't been released yet.

Did you configure your XP firewall: Firewalls instructions (click on link) to allow LW access thru it.

Is your comp connected via a router (multiple output) modem or is your connection via a lan network?

It says Limewire 4.2.2 on my shortcut to limewire, also i connect via LAN, and i have already configured my firewall with Gnuttella. Either way, does it really matter if i have my firewall off?
