Firewall problem I've followed the steps in the sticky, to add the tcp and udp gnutella ports, but still doesn't work. I have plenty of hd space, ram and all that jazz. I'm using homexp sp2 and a linksys wireless connection. heeelp. |
You need to be a lot more specific if hoping to get help Try posting more specific info on setup first. Please try to answer all the questions. 1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all? Is there a brick wall in front of world ? 2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ? http://www3.limewire.com:6346 3. What are your details OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.) How much free harddiskspace ? How much RAM ? LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see) What Firewall you're using ? Modem/router brand & model ? Are you using portforwarding, UPnP or nothing ? (Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config) What is your listening port ? (Same as above) ISP (Internet Service Provider) ? Connection type ? (modem, DSL etc) + Speed Up/Down if you know Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ? Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same problems ? Also include any attempts to fix this. It helps people rule things out |

But still we are already getting somewhere You say that Limewire worked before using the wireless router Did you by any chance forget to add Limewire.exe or your set listeningport to your Windows Firewall ? Have you upgraded your Limewire lately ? Has the brick wall always been there ? Also are you sure that your new router really supports UPnP (not just says it does) Trying Portforwarding your Limewire port is an option. In which case anyone trying to help will need exact name and model of the Linksys |

Well this is a shot in the dark before going into the portforwarding because that can take a while to get working Did you by any chance by accident choose to not download without a licence ? That will render most downloads useless. If so go to Tools>Options>View>Popups and check the revert to default box Then press apply and ok then go to Tools>Options>Searching>Basic and uncheck Show Licence Warning Then go to Filters>Content and uncheck contentfiltering Press apply and ok If your Limewire still doesn't work right then post back in this same thread Good Luck |
Tried all that, still dudn't work. |
Hope you're a bit computer savvy :D First make sure that you have a static IP on your PC Also you need to put your ISP's DNS server IP's into the lower box there. If you don't know those IP's then call your ISP and you'll get them from there Then go here and follow the steps http://www.portforward.com/default.htm BTW You'll have to disable the UPnP in Limewire and choose manual portforward Listening port and the port you enter there must be the same number. Choose one between 49152 and 65535 Forward that port (both TCP and UDP) in your windows firewall as well |

Yeah, I'm good. I just didn't want to do all that crap if there was some easier solution. |
I too was hoping that there was Strange that it will work without doing it on your housemates computer and won't work on yours You can comfort yourself with the fact, that if you get it to work, then you will have a far better connection than your housemate and a much greater succesrate in getting the downloads that you want :) |
Yeah I guess. and that I'm just ****in L337. |
Well guess I learned something as well here :D Did not know what L337 was so I looked it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet BTW it will give you the capability to Direct-Connect as well (Meaning if you find a host with 300 files that you like you can get em all) |
