06/18/2005 In reply: Been on the network awhile now and still get upld request from comcast,shawcable,setarsdsl,telus.net at this minute but have not noticed the block at all. Been offline for a few days though no one is really using the network that much on the weekends its during the week that everyone is home. I have had record downloads of about 1000 requests for one particular download that is popular now in one evening. So, if the RIAA wants to pick on all of us then that even though the stuff is copyrighted don't mean nothing. How many times have you duped your own private suff for a personal friend because they don't have it in the their collection? Its all bout control people -- they want our souls and the rich rappers who look ugly, no teeth, really can't dance or play the part of a gigilo need to step down. Oh did I mention CAN'T SING/TALK either -- its sad how the record companies take advantage of young no talent and exploit them if your not playing basketball or football first. I'm done. |

You could always try sending Neo a pm. * As well as proxies, you can try different ports without a proxy 1st. Apparently some isp's are known for sometimes blocking ports. Some to try are 3500, 1203, 20282, 80 (this last one is a last resort!) Enter the new port no. in the Listening Port section of the LW firewall option. Oh but if you have a router that doesn't utilise UPnP then you may need to forward the port to open it up. See http://portforward.com/routers.htm You can also test the ports you try but you apparently need to have LW open at the same time for some strange reason (otherwise it may say the port's closed when it's actually open): http://home.no.net/tgrumpy/ct/dex.php http://koti.mbnet.fi/gfactory/ctest/ http://jlh.no-ip.org/connectiontest/ http://www.grc.com/port_6346.htm (Press Probe this port button) Use the jump box to enter a new port number.

You know, I've been having problems with my connections. And i've just taken Ne0teric's advice. But I still don't seem to be getting my search results. I don't get it. I mean the first time, i downloaded limewire everything worked perfectly. And now, all of a sudden i don't get any results for my search. I am soo confused!! |

I downloaded the most recent version of lime wire and many of the "menus" you've mentioned don't even appear. I have no "force ip" button among other things. Either way... I'm a total noob when it comes to all this proxy/firewall stuff. I've searched around a bit trying to figure something out but I still can't get LW to connect. An error keeps popping up saying that there is no active internet connection or that a firewall is blocking it or something like that. I've tried turning off the firewalls... which I believe I have done, and still... nothing works. So, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! |

Ne0teric- help I am not too computer smart, is that system tools to start with? I don't see an options from system tools. I have even considered going to pro because I cant' get my limewire to work, do you think going pro would let me connect? |
