I had LW on a previous laptop and it worked perfectly everytime without having to bother with anything.

i now have a new laptop and used the same zip file (i kept it on an external harddrive) and now LW wont work. I've checked my proxy setting and my ports. I've completely turned off my firewalls to still have the wall on the globe, and also set the exceptions in my firewalls. I've setup the Gnutellas in network settings and followed every help file i can find that has a ariance from another and nothing works.

all that happens is that LW stays on " Connecting to network" then displays an error message sayin that I'm either firewalled or that my internet is not connected. Both o these oints are untrue.

i am currently in a student residential site, and ealise they may restruct bandwith. but i have managed to get a different p2p program working. but it is slow, and i prefer the format of LW.

Is there is just a general problem with LW at the moment or is there maybe something else i should do? I appreciate any help anyone can offer. thanks

Do you see a wall in front of the globe in Limewire ??

yeah. its there whether i disable my firewalls or not. my internet security is antivir personal classic, if that makes a difference

That means there is a built in NAT firewall in the modem/Router, which I'm assuming you dont have access to as your at school ??

its a student accomodation but is independant from the uni with which i study. is thee no way for me to sort this out?? can i not use LW at all now???

Hmmm, is there anything different between the 2 laptops and where you hooked up to the same connection when you where using the old one ??

the old one i connected at home, but like i mentioned above i have used another p2p program on tis laptop and this connection.

the old laptop was only ever used at my home address.

so is that me done with LW?

Unfortunatley there's not alot you can do because you cant access the modem/Router...The only suggestion I can think of is asking for some advice from admin...
Sorry I cant help out with a solution...
