Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Limewire disconnecting itself Hi, Ever since I downloaded the newest version of Limewire, (4.9.30)it will run for awhile, sometimes for hours, usually for only minutes before it disconnects itself! I 've made sure that I don't have a firewall blocking it and the thing is, the older version of Limewire ran fine! It's very frustrating to be downloading something, and then come back to find it hasn't even started the download since Limewire disconnected. I don't know how to fix it, or where even to begin! Otherwise, if I want to be able to actually get the downloads, I can't leave the computer for even a few minutes because it will disconnect and I will have to close out of Limewire completely and restart it. With the older version, I was able to go to sleep and let Limewire work all night, now this is impossible. Is anyone else having this problem with Limewire 4.9.30? Does anyone know how I could fix it so that Limewire doesn't disconnect until I want it to? Thanks so much!  |

 Machine doesn't appear to have an active internet connection Yeah, I get the same problem. The old versions worked fine, but now I get this message every couple of minutes: your machine does not appear to have an active internet connection or a firewall is blocking limwire from accessing the internet. limewire will automatically keep trying to connect to your netowrk unless you select "Disconnect" from the file menu. I'm sure my firewall isn't blocking it, and also, it won't let me browse the internet after it disconnects and gives me that error message. Please help!!! Running WinXP Pro with all the updates. |

| Going to need a little more Info. Can you give us a total description 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? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal) 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11. 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? These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. * 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. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml 12. Do This test, Is the result True/False? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False 13. Do a speed test post the results here. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

| Hello: I registered to the forum because lately I am experiencing the same disconnection problems as stated in the two previous posts. This began happening almost 3 weeks ago, but for the last 4 days it got worse and the Limewire disconnects itself and also disconnects my internet connection too often...I have to restart the pc to reconect to the internet and when I go to the Limewire and begin downloading, it disconnects again. After doing it 7 times in the last hour I decided to post in the forum. I use WinXp, 512 Ram, a lot of free space in the disc and the main question is why is it happening now if I haven't changed anything (I still didn't upgraded to the 4.9.3 version, I still have the 4.8.1? It used to work before but not now. Thank you for your help, Regards Roberto |

| I've got the same problem since I upgraded to 4.9.30. I upgraded to 33 and it's still happening. Upgraded my Java, still happening. I ran the tests from Grandpa's (I think) reply. First test got "It worked!" Second test did not provide a true/false response, but took me to another thread "For those who can't connect." Went to Speakeasy and got a way low test off the L.A. server. Unplugged my dsl modem for 10 seconds and tried again, this time with the San Francisco server, a bit farther from here than L.A. and got Download 675 kbps, Upload 121. Tried L.A. again and got Download 698, Upload 110. What Limewire is currently doing is running at Turbo when I'm working on the computer. If I leave it for thirty minutes, Limewire goes to sleep. I click with the mouse on anything and LW says it's waking the connection. This is the common occurrance. But some times I come back and it's just plain disconnected and I have to go to file and connect again. It's so annoying. I used to leave it running day and night. Overnight, my big files would have completed the download, but not anymore. Plus this shuts down or slows down the 8 folks I've got uploading big files, too. I'm running an emachine with XP Home, with an AMD 2600+ processor, 512 MB RAM, minus whatever the video card uses. The XP firewall is turned off, so I'm only running Norton Internet Security and Symantic virus scanner. LW is on the permit list, though I get boxes continually asking me if I want to let this or that web address through, which may or may not have anything to do with LW. It advises me to permit always, so I do. Am I forgetting anything? Oh, well. Please oh master programmers, please track this idiosyncrasy down and fix it soon. I love LW, and I don't want to start looking around for another program that works. |

| ldeanjames/hopper393 There is a bug in the newer versions of LimeWire that causes it to disconnect while in the sleep mode hopefully the Dev's will figure it out before to long. hopper393 You probably have a graphics issue the link below might help with the minimizing issue and the blank screen. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39600 ldeanjames I wish I had a answer to you problems but the same thing is happening to me and I haven't figured a way around it yet LimeWire had this same problem a few versions back and they had semi gotten it under control but it has crept it ugly head up again even worse than it was before. Luckily I do not DL anything anymore unless I am testing so it really doesn't annoy me because it gives me a problem to try and see if I can beet it somehow. But I haven't been able to play with it to much I have been working long days and hours. Have a few more weeks of 12hrs a day 7 day a week then I will be able to play with it. Not that I will be able to do anything but I love to try.
