![]() When I click on "Direct Connect" I get the following message: Your computer is behind a firewall or router and cannot receive direct connections. I've read through other posts (most fairly old) regarding this issue, but I have yet to find a solution that works. What settings do I need to make this work. 1. OS version? Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? McAfee Security Center v. 7.2 ; Personal Firewall 8.2 (Windows XP firewall is not enabled) 3. How much ram? .99 GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 52.5 GB 5. Connection type? cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys WRT54G ver. 6 7. Where are you trying to connect from? apartment complex 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.12.11 Java 1.5.0_10 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? TKS (Germany) 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? "Your test worked!" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? no 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st try 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes |
