my os is xp I have high speed cable stillunable to connect fully

What is your set up? 1. What brand name & model number of modem (& router) do you use? 2. Where are yo connecting from: home, school, work, etc.? 3. What type of firewall do you use?

If you're a windows user update your Java: Java 1.4.x OR Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

Have yo tried deleting your LW preferences found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire & delete the entire folder called .limewire

I have a suspicion your modem uses NAT technology which limits ports of use. It is most dramatic on blocking incoming requests to LW. If you provide me the brand name & model number, it will show whether this is your problem or not. If it is, you can set it up by using port forwarding which will give LW full access & not just partial access.

I bought it recently from the compant i subscribe to it says cable rf mac address=000e98b081844 model no.60678eu made in china

I must say I can't make sense of the brand name. If it were in Chinese you could send it (I did study Chinese for several yrs.) I don't think cable rf mac is the brand so much as the type of modem. Not that I know anything about modems. lol

I saw your other post called Modems posted in the Open Section of the forum. SOunds like your company is not as user friendly as mine. Mine even helped me to open my ports (not that they were supposed to.) I suspect they made that comment not b/c it can't be done but b/c it's against their policy to assist with matters not directly related to your normal connection.

But perhaps you could at least ask them what the brand & model of the modem is. I'm extremely surprised that there's no identifying brand name on the modem's outside casing.

Ahh I take that back. I think I just worked out what brand of modem it is. I think it's a Cisco 678 (RF) Bingo!!! You can confirm it as suggested by contacting your company.

You will need to allow access for port 6346

1. A very simple port forward on a cisco 678 instructions

2. You will also need to Force IP within LW. See Force IP instructions & sample image here

wow- i didnt even know we were up to 422 already.....seems like as soon as my upgrade page expires the new releases pick up again....bummer
