How about the connection port. Try that also ... but as suggested you may need to port forward for that port.

BTW after changing the listening port did the brick wall disappear from the blue world icon?

BTW did you try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) Make sure you check both locations!!!

But if you do this, you will need to reset all your LW options & settings such as your Port Forward settings, etc.

If none of this works ... try connecting at a different time of day. eg: if it's during evening you can't connect, try during the daytime or vice versa.

If that doesn't work ... I'll give you another version of LW to try which is less firewall sensitive. But only as a last option.

Another thing you might try is reconfiguring LW and your router to port forward if you haven't already done this. If your router lost power for some reason it may have reset itself to the default settings some routers will do this.

Lord Of The Ring,

the wall in front of the globe was still there even after i changed the listening port. I have also tried changing the "Manual Port Forward" value. After changing the Manual Port Forward value, I also did a re-forwarding of the port. Still I can not get LW to connect.

I have deleted the preference file like a dozen times. There is also no difference whether I tried to connect during the day or the night.

Seems like my problem is going to a dead end? Nothing seems to work for me.. ARGH~~~


Grandpa,

I am quite sure that the configurations of the router have not been changed. So I think it has not been resetted?

WTH!!!! SUDDENLY MY LW HAS CONNECTED!!!

OMG~~~~~~

But watch this space cause I'm afraid that this is only temporary..

But anyway, I must thank birdy, Lord Of The Rings and Grandpa! You guys have been great...~!
