I just downloaded the newest limewire, and I cannot download and have the brick wall icon. I've gone through all the firewall and connection threads, and nothing solved my problem. Here's the info that is asked for in the others... Any help would be great.

Windows Xp (SP2)
Limewire 4.12.3
Java 1.5.0_06
Windows Firewall
Belkin Wireless G Router (Model # F5D7230-4)
Cogeco Internet
Cable Connection
@ Home
Sharing with others, but routers hooked up to this machine.
I've had limewire for a while, and just downloaded the newer version and got the problem.

You probably need to give LimeWire permission to access the Internet in the windows firewall.

Already done... didn't do a thing. :S

Did you by any chance have portforwarded your Limewire port in the previous version. If so check if your port has changed when you installed the new version.

Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall config

Also if your exeptions were added for the older version. Your firewall may not recognize the new version as the same program. Try deleting the exeptions for Limewire and adding new ones

If you haven't portforwarded Limewire then make sure UPnP is enabled

I did the firewall thing, and added the newer limewire. I do have it port forwarded, and i have those ports open in my router, but it's still being firewalled... grr..

Those ports ??? There should only be one port. Listening port and forwarded port should be the same port

Remember to forward both TCP and UTP

Well, I got the brick wall to go away. But the stupid downloads still won't connect.

Have you ever solved your problem. I am having the same problem and cannot get it to connect. I have even disabled my Internet connection firewall with no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

Is Limewire connected now ?

The downloads can be just unlucky choices.

When you first installed did you allow contentfiltering ?

Or accidently messed up the licence issue ?

BTW are these downloads started while using the old version ?

If so Check the incomplete folder in limewire and see if they are red. If they are then try and cancel all the downloads then highlight them in the incomplete folder and press resume. There is a slight chance that they never start due to some curruption happening when switching versions (they will start again from scratch if so). But often it works.

If they start from scratch cancel them. Then delete entire incomplete folder while limewire is closed. A new one will be created next time you start Limewire. Just search for them again same way you did before.

You have to post all the info. Same as pbecker13 did in his first post. Or else we can sit here and guess what the problem might be

Also post how you have tried to fix the issue before posting.
