I have done everything everyone has talked about i have uninstalled and reinstalled over and over and deleted the .limewire, and then set the connection to not auto connect. I have changed the listening ports over and over. I found a site that told me how to set up gnutella on my firewall that way i could connect to the internet. I have changed my firewall settings over and over i have looked at everything and still i cannot connect. it just shows one little green bar and says that i have not an active connection, yet i can surf the net, but somehow i can't connect to limewire. I have also download other free file sharing programs just to see if it was just limewire and i still encounter the same problem. Please someone help me i am at a lost at what to do now.

Hey I think we are sort of in the same boat if you ever get a solution - PLEASE share!!!!!!

oh i will, its just so fustrating everyone is getting there;s to work but me. I hate that.

I have emailed LW support over and over - I have purchased Limewire pro 4.10, I have a mac with tiger running system.
Limewire acts as if opening then i get an error message right on loading html
engine. then pop up error message says LW has quit unexpectedly. I have tried
everything... erased preferences folder, removed/uninstalled and reinstalled. I
rebooted using save mode and ran Repair Permissions, I dont know what else to do...

I am soo sick of lw tech. support emailing me with be more specific how much more specific could i possibly be????!!!!!!! Im soo pissed i just want to talk to someone on the phone!!

I know that feeling i am running mine on a laptop on windows xp and such, the program works well on my b/f computer but mine for some reason refuses to do anything. if you also get any info let me know, i will let you know anything as soon as it comes available to me.

sure thing! Ill let u know - if anyone gives me any info

Can you give us a total description 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. Does anyone see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW?

hey, just in case you wonna know, lord of the rings, that's the exact same problem i have

I am in the same boat as you. i have tried tons of different port numbers and nothing. here are answers about my system
1. i am using mac osx
2. how do i know WHAT FIREWALLS I HAVE?
3. 256 MB SDRAM
4. 5 GB available
5. wireless connection
6. ???
7. connecting from home
8. limewire pro
9. wi-fi internet provider
10. no
11. yes, test worked!
12. brick wall!! yes!

I too have followed all these instructions and I still can't get my LW to connect. I even uninstalled and reinstalled my router, tried NOT using my router, shut off my firewall even though LW has access, the 'test' doesnt do anything except take me to a blank page and I have a brick wall in front of the earth. My limewire worked awesome for about 3 months then BAM nothing....I have XP, a dell inspiron 600m laptop, more harddrive space than I will ever use, a 1GB procesessor and it doesnt matter. I can't connect. I want to purchase the LW pro but if this is how it will work I'm not wasting my money. any one know of another program I can use instead of LW??
