My LW worked great and now all I get is "Connection Status Leaf" and brick wall in front of globe (comprable to previous threads) and no green bars to the left of it. Any idea why things won't connect? I have already been through troubleshoot on FAQ and confirmed Gnutella settings and corresponding port but nothing. Any wizards out there looking to drop some knowledge or insight? thanks, Gotafix? |

gotafix, we're going to need some info What has changed since everything worked well...hardware? ISP? New software? Anything? How long have you been having the connection problem? Have you double checked your firewall config & made sure that you're only using 1 software firewall? Have you done this port test & did it work? http://www3.limewire.com:6346 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 How's your router set up? Do you have UPnP enabled or are you port forwarding (or neither)? |

Jessica Got your email but you have set it so that I cannot reply directly online. Anyway, it seems that you are connected to the internet via an ISP, for which you must pay a monthly subscription fee. If you were still connected to the university network I would have said that they must have introduced a firewall of some sort. But since you say you have a USB modem, and to my knowledge these do not have built in firewalls, then you could have put some sort of software on your PC that LW sees as a firewall. Back in the past, I remember a version of LW that started to see PeerGuardian as a firewall, so I suggest you check what other additions you have added to your PC lately. Finally, and I must say sorry for this silly question I am about to ask but are you sure you have a USB modem and not a modem/router (which has a built-in firewall) that is connected to your PC via a yellow cable? If you have a modem/router device then that would have the firewall that LW is sensing. UK Bob |
