it was set as unup automatic. i changed it to manual. i made all the ports 80. i swapped as much as i could. turned off proxies turned them on. changed aroud all the numbers but nothing. im lost

It is possible the proxy support on LimeWire isn't complete enough... I did a little of googling, but I don't find a tutorial for P2P apps. Can you try other free P2P apps like Ares or Bearshare lite?

Ciao

ive tried bearshare, and ares nope. im sorry if im being annoying but its not working. is there any suggestions on a website with easy access for music. a website

a website? itunes store or napster... You could always call your service provider about how to make work P2P and then spread the knowledge here ;)

Ciao

Trouble connecting to internet
 

One of my friends and I (both use Optimum Online and cable modems) are both unable to connect to the internet. I use Zone Alarm as my firewall, and have followed the suggestions in LW help, but nothing seems to help. Lime Wire still sees a fire wall and won't connect.

Maybe I was wrong!
 

Well... this was a pleasant surprise... Usually Lime Wire won't connect, but this time it actually did. I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why is LW behaving now after two weeks of misbehavior?

Can log into forum site but having problem posting.What are exact steps to start posting? Only thing I noticed is that under posting rules, HTML code is off, is that the problem?
