![]() I am completely lost when it comes to all of this... I've been using LW for a few months with no problem, and at the time my house was using Road Runner for our internet. We recently switched to Frontier DSL and for the life of me I can't get LW or any other music downloading to work for me. I've tried everything that has been suggested in the threads (with the exception of deleting the .limewire folder bc I wasn't sure how to do that) and none of it seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'm dying without my music! Mags |

![]() Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire (Samples are given about how to do! Look further down the page!) ![]() ![]() Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If false then something like a firewall or router/modem is partially blocking your LW. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? 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. |
