 ..still having problems with the connection... 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP 2. What firewalls you have? Zonealarm 3. How much ram? 256 mb 4. Hard Disk space available? about 50 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) wireles broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys Wireles Router 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.14.8 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? 10. 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? site cannot be found.. didn't work at all.. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. no 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I'm experienced.. I've used it for about 2 years, and this is the first time I've EVER had problems with it.. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes  |
