My network doesn't want to connect...
 

Every time I go to search, limewire gives me a pop-up saying that limewire is trying to connect to the network and i'll have a limited number of searches. But then when it's done searching, there's nothing there!!!! HELP!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!

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 (Internet Service Provider)?
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?
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

Thank you for responding so quickly.

1st try at LW

Disable your XP firewall: go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box.

Then *Configuring Norton Internet Security The reason for this is XP & Norton firewalls are known to conflict with each other.

After opening LW, let it settle for 5-15 mins before using. Allow it to connect properly, & to load incomplete & shared files.

Don't make your searches too long. The shorter the search the better the chance for results. Try searching something simple like let it be or beatles using an Any Type search.
