Can't Connect I just downloaded LW lastnight and in connections it shows about 9 or 10 hosts, they all say connecting. The odd time one will show the status as outgoing, but this only lasts a few seconds. They are constantly replacing each other with new ones. Help PLEASE! Here is my info: OS: Windows XP Professional LW & Java version: LW-4.12.3, Java-5.0.70.3 Firewall you're using: Windows Modem/router brand & model: D-Link ISP: Connection type: Cable Where you connect from: Home Are you sharing a connection with other computers: Yes, one Is this your first try with LW: No, first time with XP though |
anybody? please?:( |
Have you configured your XP firewall to allow LW? Firewall setup Do this test & see whether it works http://www3.limewire.com:6346 Who is your ISP? We might need the model of your router:) Have you read this? It has heaps of info about connection problems & their fixes Connection problems? Check here first! |
Yes i tried all of those links allready, and still no go. That test doesnt work (page cannot be displayed) ISP: eastlink Router: DI-614+ Thanks for replying |
Well something is blocking LW's default port, possibly your ISP. There are a few articles around that suggest Eastlink are using traffic shaping for p2p. You should give them a call & find out whether they are limiting p2p use, you might find that whatever you try is useless in that case:( You could try using a different port, there are some ideas here Alternative Ports If you change ports, remember to also change port numbers allowed within the XP firewall. |
Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the earth)?? |
yes, there is a brick wall infront of the earth |
Give your ISP a call & see if you can find out why port 6346 is blocked. You could have a try with one of the higher port numbers, see what happens. |
Ok, thanks a lot. It's almost midnight and i was trying to figure this out since u work up. I'll call them in the morning and let you know how i make out thanks again! |
