 jflash, sorry that you're still stuck in Pigsnot & still can't connect! You seem to have tried just about everything, even port forwarding. It sounds a bit suss to me but I can't find anything about your ISP blocking p2p or using traffic shaping! You could try Bearshare Lite but stay with version 5.1.0 or older (there's a link for download of that version below) http://www.filehippo.com/download_bearshare_lite/  |

| Give your ISP a call & ask them why your port 6346 is blocked! Try to find out if they've started blocking p2p. If you really think it's something going on with your computer, go to Norbiesworld & get him to check things out. It's all free & he's really good. Click on the link below & follow the instructions for free computer help. Download Hijackthis from the links on the site, scan & post the log in the Viruses & Trojans section of his forum. Norbiesworld Good luck  Last edited by birdy; June 17th, 2006 at 11:38 PM. |

| kirbywirby, rather than turning off your firewall have you tried configuring it to allow LW? Lots of instructions here Firewall setup Do this test & see what your result is http://www3.limewire.com:6346 Read through this, it has heaps of info Connection problems? Check here first! What are your details? OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW Do you see the brick wall firewall icon? |
