Thumbs down trouble connecting

my problem? ''LimeWire is currently connecting to the network, your search may not return many results untill you are fully connected to the network''
HP MEDIA CENTER
Norton firewall disabled
D-Link wireless router
DSL Verison
Fujitsu modem
my computer is not telephone connected
does someone know how to fix this? LimeWire customer service really sucks for all the people out there.

I use a D-Link but not a wireless one. Can you ell us the model no. of this router? It will most likely erquire port forwarding which will open port 6346 for LW. I can give you instructions if I know the model. Which Operating System version do you use? Do you have SP2 installed? How much ram do you have?

If you're a windows user try these one by one:

1. Update your Java version 1.5 (take the JRE)

2. Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire OR Windows 98 / ME: Your .limewire folder is in "C:\My Documents"

3. Repair LimeWire using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs & click on Limewire on the Change/Remove button & it comes up with options and one of them is Repair. Try this.

4. Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and changed compatability setting to Windows 2000.

You will need to do port forwarding for your D-Link. 1. You will 1st need to set up a static ip (instructions are included) OK I'm not sure which version applies to you : DI-624 OR DI-624+ (you'll know once you see them.) 2. Do Port Forwarding using Port 6346

3. Force IP: Force IP instructions & sample image

4. Configure your firewalls to allow LW & Java full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

5. Look carefully at my previous post & update your Java. Java is exremely important for LW. If you delete LW's Prefs foldre you'll need to reset LW's options so make a note of all your settings before you delete them. It would have been best to do that before force ip.
