change proxy???

[RLC]

I found this information in another thred. Does this still apply?



1.) GO TO TOOLS>OPTIONS>ADVANCED>PORT AND MAKE SURE THE BOX SAYS 6346

2.) GO TO TOOLS>OPTIONS>ADVANCED>FIREWALLS AND CHECKMARK THE FORCE IP BOX AND MAKE SURE THIS ALSO SAYS PORT 6346

3.) GO TO TOOLS>OPTIONS>ADVANCED>PROXY AND CONFIGURE A PROXY THAT WORKS. THERE ARE TONS OF PROXY SITES OUT THERE JUST YAHOO SEARCH 'PROXY LISTS'
IN MY CASE I USED A SOCKS V5 PROXY THAT I FOUND TO BE WORKING SO HERE IS AN EX. OF HOW I IMPLEMENTED THE OPTIONS.

4.) CHECK THE SOCKS V5 BOX AND IN THE PROXY WINDOW I PUT 69.240.156.39 AND IN THE PORT BOX I PUT 3380

****NOTE**** PROXIES CAN WORK FOR 2YEARS-2DAYS-1HR-5MIN SO 1ST RUN A CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE PROXY U WANNA USE WORKS FOR THE TIME BEING YOU WILL ONLY NEED A WORKING PROXY FOR LIKE 5MINUTES WHILE YOU DO A CONNECT TO THE NETWORK

5.) CLICK APPLY AND THEN OK

6.) HIT FILE>DISCONNECT

7.) HIT FILE>CONNECT ... IF U DIDNT CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE PROXY WORKED THAT YOU ARE TRYING U WILL NOW FIND OUT IF IT WORKS OR NOT CUZ IF SO THE NETWORK WILL NOW CONNECT!!!

8.) ONCE CONNECTED, JUST DO A RANDOM SEARCH LIKE '50 CENT' OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU MIGHT WANNA TRY BUT JUST MAKE SURE WHATEVER YOU SEARCH WILL BRING UP A LOT OF RESULTS BECAUSE IF DONE CORRECTLY YOU SHOULD NOW SEE RESULTS POPPING UP

9.) IF INSTEAD OF ALWAYS BRINGING UP ZERO RESULTS, UR SEARCH ACTUALLY RETURNS WITH SOME RESULTS YOU ARE NOW PROPERLY CONNECTED!!!!

**NOTE** ONLY DO THESE NEXT STEPS IF U PLAN ON KEEPING LIMEWIRE UP FOR A VERY LONG TIME **RECOMMENDED**, THUS U WONT HAVE TO CONNECT BACK TO THE NETWORK FOR A WHILE CUZ EVERYTIME U CLOSE OUT LW AND START IT BACK UP OR DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT BACK TO THE NETWORK U WILL HAVE TO DO STEPS 1-9 EVERYTIME WHICH I KNOW IS A HASSLE BUT IT'S BETTER THAN NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ANY FILES AT ALL.

10.) GO BACK TO TOOLS>OPTIONS>ADVANCED>FIREWALLS AND UNCHECK THE FORCE IP BOX

11.) GO TO TOOLS>OPTIONS>ADVANCED>PROXY AND CLICK THE NO PROXY BUTTON

12.) CLICK APPLY THEN OK

13.) ALL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

proxies have different ports many times, so you have to use the port associated with said proxy's IP address...the example above is just an example..
