connection when?
 

Read the forums tried some options can't connect.
Live wire is open and says you are connecting but nothing happe ns.
Connecting via laptop to lan at work
any ideas?

WOrk could be the issue. Some businesses are not happy when their personnel steal their bandwidth for p2p sharing. They may also consider it a security threat so they either block ports, only allow certain programs to run, or use a special p2p filter to stop a p2p program using any or only using a little bandwidth. This is not to say this is your problem but you should be aware of this possibility.

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. 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?
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. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

hey
found out I connect to inernet via broadcom netextreme gigabit ethernet.
Also I get a different listening port every time I log on to limewire.
I have a wall in front of globe on limewire first page.
Firewalls are not activated in xp control panel. If I activate them they automatically switch off when I reboot.
sill trying

Is it possible to log into your connection devices using your browser? The question is does it support UPnP. See Connection problems? Check here first! It's my guess this might be a part of the issue.
