All outgoing but no incoming 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Windows and Nortons Anti-virus one(Already permitted Limewire though) 3. How much ram? 1 gig 4. Hard Disk space available? Crapload 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Scientific Atlanta DPC2100 Series Modem, no router 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.12.6 Pro Java: 1.5.0_09 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast 10. 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? Test worked! 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? No I reformatted my computer and decided to get myself the proversion of Limewire since I had the basic before and I had no problems before I reformatted, but now I can't download any songs and it always says "Need More Sources". But when I go to the connections tab, all the Status are "Outgoing" and no incoming, which I'm sure the problem is. I'm including a pic so you know what I mean. hxxp://img155.image shack. us /img155/2938/limewirepicwy8.png (It won't let me embded it in here so just remove the spaces and put the xx's to tt's. I'm using "Use PNP" and the port is the same for azureus, 45209. Sooo...Any suggestions? |

Do the files sit connecting for ages before needing more sources? If so, sounds like fakes. Fake files showing up in search results You're not firewalled, which is good. Are you fully connected (how many green connection bars)? Outgoing connections is fine!! Just means you're connected as a leaf, rather than an ultrapeer. Leafs only see outgoing connections to ultrapeers, if you're connected as an utlrapeer you'll see outgoing & incoming connections to both leafs & ultrapeers |

I've tried many different files and ones that I know aren't fake. And I'm super charged, as it shows on the screenshot I do believe. So I dunno what else it can be. And yeah outgoing is fine, but I'm not going to get any files from just outgoing, lol. |

I'm connected as a leaf right now (all outgoing connections to 5 UPs)...I can download just fine Try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's closed. See points 2 & 3 below Fixes for LimeWire Believe me, seeing only outgoing connections has absolutely nothing to do with being able/unable to download. If that were the case, no leaf would be able to download |
