Major help needed with 4.9 I recently upgraded Limewire from 4.8 to 4.9. Limwire is the only p2p that I use and I love it. However, after I upgraded I noticed that I would occassionally be unable to connect to the internet. Neither one of my browsers would connect to any site, but Limwire 4.9 would continue to run. I also do not lost my internet connection, it is just fine. The new version of Limewire is java based, so I reinstalled java and firefox but the problem persisted. I began to cruise Limwire's support forums to find that dozens of others were having the same problem but there are no answers as of yet. I uninstalled Limewire, but if my computer sits for a period of time w/o use, the browsers will not connect again. However, if i restart they work just fine again. I am completely at a loss as to what happened. It doesn't seem to be a big problem as much as a minor annoyance I'd like to remedy.Limewire has offered no solution, and none of the few suggestions others have made in the forums have made any difference. I have all updates and patches for my system. I run Norton Av 2004, Zone Alarm pro version 6,firefox, IE6, and xp sp2. If anyone can offer up any answers or suggestions I would be incredibely grateful. |

i don't know whether i'm having the same probs but it sounds rather similar... After upgrading my java programme (as prompted), my limewire, which is of the latest version, 4.9.28, won't seem to run properly. The icon is still present in the system tray and i'll see the icon as well in my taskbar but when i click on it, nothing pops up; ie: no screen showing my downloads, etc. Why is this so? i tried emailing the above paragraph to them under bug reports, but my mail just kept on returning, much to my annoyance... anyway... argh... i'd like my limewire running again. someone help pls |

i actually found ot what the problem is. the new version is opening up mukltiple tcp/ip connections. windows xp has set a limit on the amount that can be opened for security purposes so your firewall shuts down your access once the limit is reached. its a major glitch that they should have caught and offered a fix for by now. |

Hi oblivionrokz uninstall your old java Then goto www.java.com and install the new version choose manual download and install yourself Then re-boot the computer Sgt |
