 No connection on any P2P network! Please Help! I'm unable to connect to any newtwork! I can't even get into the program(s) LimeWire, 360 SharePro, Utorrent!?? I'm running Windows XP SP2, MaAcfee. I have checked every program I have (even wen tinto sub folders) and uninstalled any/all security programs (old/new) I not only configured all of the above w/McAfee's Firewall, I uninstalled McAfee all together and still no connection. I have uninstalled/reinstalled all of the above programs numerous x's!? Nada. I really don't see the point in configuring Windows Firewall when I have it "Turned Off" all together but I did put all of them on the "Exceptions" tab/list just in case. Still blocked! I've called my ISP several x's and they assure me they are not blocking any program (I did specifiy LImeWire to them)not any port. But it seems like every time I mention the "P" word they seem to go into a silent panic! Is there one caring soul out here willing to do an "intervention" to prevent me from committing myself to an IP Psych. facility because I CAN'T CONNECT!? please?  Oh...sorry, I have a Dell /DImension Desktop.No other computers are hooked up to me and I do NOT have a router. I have a single Speedstream 5100 modem. DSL. That's it! Pretty simple you'd think.  "K"  |

| I'd say it's a matter of the NAT Firewall in your modem...In the link I have provided you are the instructions to Port Forward your modem (speedstream 5100) follow them closely, if you need any more help just let us know...  http://www.portforward.com/english/r...0/Limewire.htm

| Why, Ive been through the whole "port" forwarding and when it got to where it says I need a " Static IP" address I got stuck and called my ISP. They told me that Static IP is when you have "multilple" PC's, for those who have a network(I don't) and that it costs big $$$ to obtain one anyway???! FYI: I never had a conneciton problem until about 2 weeks ago when I went to open my "Etomi Pro", which i've been running for about 1 1/2 years, and received that "can not connect...firewall etc..)and I called and they the "musicmembersarea.com" support areas(I am a paid member but they can't find me!)advised Etomi was obsolete. 360Share.pro tooks its place, so they downloaded a link 4-me to install 360Share Pro. Still no conneciton and then LImeWire and this story goes on and on. Did I receive correct info. from my ISP about Static IP's? |

| No their full of crap...I don't have a network either, I've had the same modem as you, and the one I have now I had to Port Forward as well... These guys are a scam site "musicmembersarea.com" they charge you for software that is free... You can only get the official Limewire from http://www.limewire.com

| I'd say get rid of the version of LW that you have...There is no limewire 9...What they have made you pay for is probably full of spyware....Demand your money back.... Back to your static IP, you don't pay for it, if you follow the instructions that I provided you you will create one...

| Thanx again Why. That was the link they sent but it was for the LimeWirePro 4.12.6 but same link. Unfortunately I need to run out but I don't want to loose any advice you may offer because I am literally pulling hair out of my head with this one! If you help me resolve this you'll get a HUGE gold star for the day! ;-) Right now LImeWire is uninstalled. I'll use the link you sent. Oh...how do I get past the Static IP thing??Do I need a Static IP? If it's essential then how am I going to obtain one when my ISP stands by their "you need a network and it costs big $$$" They also said it takes a couple of days to obtain a Static IP as well. And thanx for the tip on the musicmembersarea.com. I found out the hard way. Isn't that just the way life goes sometimes! :-O Hey, I really do appreciate your advice BIGTIME! THANX! "K" |
