![]() Have you configured your firewall to allow LW full access; instructions: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st. Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider? 10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. |

![]() I have the same problem 1. XP 2. McAfee 3. 512 4. 70G 5. broadband 6. Webstar 7. Connecting from home 8. LW 8.1.2 Java 1.5.0_02 9. ISP is blueyonder 10. LW worked in the past but now i get the following error message LW was unable to set up a port to listen for incoming connections. Some features of LW may not work as expected. Many thanks |

![]() I am also, still, having the same problems, and note: my problems are NOT from firewall setup. I think that Limewire just hates us... LOL Anyways, what does that message entail? It is obviously a connection problem, but what triggers the message? IE: Not connected to a server, or what? Anyone who can fix this dumb problem, feel free to tell me too. -SoCoNFuSe ![]() |

![]() gandolff try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Then give it some time to connect. Even up to an hr. If this doesn't work, go to Tools>Options>Connections & untick option & press apply. Then go to File>Disconnect. Wait a minute, then go back & select connect. SoCoNFuSe ![]() |
