Hi there

I was wondering if you could help me!
My info to your Questions was as follows.

1. Windows XP SP2
2. Windows Firewall, we have AVG secuirity, but that does not seem to have a firewall
3. 256Mb RAM
4. 62 Gig Available
5. ADSL
6. I don't know what modem it is or what a router is.
7. House
8. LW 4.12.6
9. YRLess solutions (South Africa)
10. Test worked
11. I did install Morpheus, but that also doesn't connect, there are no other computers
12. I have connected a few times in the past, but have only recently started using LW
13. Yes there is a brick wall allthough I made it an exception in the windows firewall settings.

Thanks for trying to help!!!
Will I ever be able to connect?

hi im not an expert at this, but i have a solution that might work for you, i got it from one of the limewire developers team. search for a folder "Application Data"(usually in C:/Documents And Settings/user name/Application data)
in which u will find a folder of limewire. delete that folder completely, but before you do that make sure you have exited LW and that the tray icon has disappeared. then try installing LW again.
hope this works for u

Windows XP MCE
McAfee Personal Firewall Plus
512 MB Ram
80 GB Hard Disk
Broadband 256 kbps
Modem and Router: Huawei SmartAX MT 880
Connecting from Home
Limewire 4.12.6
Java Runtime Env. 5 Update 9
ISP: MTNL (india)
The Test worked
Sharing: No
its a new problem
Brick Wall: Yes

sometimes limewire connects but never goes beyond 'good connection'

My guess is the problem is your router. The reason you're getting the brick wall is most likely the internal NAT firewall it has. Go to http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm & look for a similar model as yours in the 2nd column from the left under the heading Huawei & follow the directions there carefully. After you click on the model link, look for LimeWire on the list.

Also, if you're using McAffee then make sure it's configured to allow LW full access; (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link). And make sure XP firewall is disabled via your control panel.

I hope hamphork's suggestion works for you. I am aware there's a number of ISP's in S.A. who shape or block p2p programs. I hope that doesn't apply to yours.

If it doesn't work, then try to find out the brand & model of your connection device. (A router is usually a modem with options to connect other computers to it also. It acts as a type of hub of a network connecting them to the internet.)

What you can try is going to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change the listening port to one between 49152 - 65535. Try 64049 & then close & re-open LW.

yesterday when i tried connecting LW, surprisingly it went up to "Turbo Charged Connection" but even then i wasnt able to download movies though i was succeeded in downloading few mp3s, so whats going on with my LW or Computer?? I tried reinstalling MCAfee firewall and also did port forwarding as they said on portforward.com. can it be due to slow internet speeds, its because at peak hours my internet speed falls really low.

Yes it might be ISP related or isp population issue.

For videos, be aware of some things: 1. Beware of Fake files in search results

2. Movie download issues

3. How to find music

hey thanks for the tip
so i guess using limewire at off hours would be a good idea. that fake-movie prevention link was really helpful as i have been given wrong movies in the past instead of the movies I'm searching for. is there anyway to rate the files we download? if there was then it would be very helpful to filter the good files with the fake ones
thanks
