help with connecting and searching I purchased and downloaded limewire pro yesterday after using it at it friends and being v impressed but mine doesn't work and i'm sooooo frustrated. Software downloaded no problem but when i type in an artist to search for songs the name of the artist appears and a green bar slowly creeps across this after several minutes the bar has reached the end but i have had no searches and no results. I do have a wall infront of my globe but have tried the suggestions on the forum although i'm not quite sure what I should be downloading I have been through the help section on limewire and done all the recommendations, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled it but no luck I'm not very technical so any support needs to be quite basic thanks |

In regard to the brickwall: Can you give us a total description of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 12. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? In regard to the search (which could be connetcted to the brickwall); try to read here about license issues: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...176#post154176

I presume your outgoing ip is either 192.xxx or 10.xxx right? Have you tried the proxy settings in LW? I'm not in the know about connecting from a large network domain. Are you saying the IT guy at work is able to use LW at work? If yes, then there's perhaps something he isn't telling you. |

yeah, I've fussed with the ip settings in LW. Mumbo Jumbo. All that crap is confusing. I've gone into LW, and told it to use an Http proxy, and input the proxy and gate I've been using. Now, it doesn't want to work. You are right about the IP address though. 192.xxx.x.xxx..... The IT guy does not run Lime Wire. He's a nerd, and doesn't even know what it is. The thing is, I was running it just fine, before. He has not changed anything, and I've always had a 192 IP address. There is a domain, that all the OTHER computers are hooked into. I am NOT part of the domain, but we all share the same connection. |

Did you check whether the IP address and the Mask in LW are the same in the Local Area Connection under TCP/IP Internet Protocol?

I can easily find these values in Windows, but I don't know where i would find them in LW. Maybe I'm not following. Are you saying that I should compare the IP and subnet values in my windows settings to the values in LW? If so, I don't know where to find them in LW. I know that under options>advanced>proxy I have it set to use an Http Proxy with the proxy address and port input into the fields. I don't know where I would specify the IP address or Subnet Mask values. FYI: I also have it set on Manual Port Forward on 6346 and to listen on port 5722. (I don't know if that makes a difference). |
