Hello there, Ia m new to this forum, I have a similar problem it keeps coming up with the machine does not have an active internet connection or a firewall is blocking.

I have a brick wall and all the bars are red and the number is 0.

I have tried evrything, I have tried to manually port forward, I have reinstalled Java, Limewirer etc.

My operating system is XP 64 bit
I have a gig of ram
I have 80 gig hard drive
I am running Bittorent also but limewire was not working before I installed
I have a BT home hub
I have this PC as part of a wireless network thought this PC is hard wired & a laptop connected wirelessly but does not use Lime wire.

I have tried everything switche dof firewalls in PC in router etc. I ahve set up a static IP also & port forwarded.

Can anyone help an increadibly frustrated member.

Sorry man, I have already did the port forwarding and I ahve it set on the correct port. According the Java site the version of Java is the only version available and should with with both 32 and 64 bit applications.

Anything else I can check? I guess I dont understand why it says I have a firewall up when I do not. It is telling me that it is trying to connect so it is a connection issue.

I would give Brighthouse a ring and ask if there shaping P2P traffic, ASK have they any additional firewall on there connection ?
Some ISPs were OK but have recently started shaping, Please post what they
say, It will help others.
You said, you set port!!,Best to use No's 50000 to 65000 Both L/W ports should read the same number "Listen on Port "& "Manual Port Forward" must be the same & enabled, not upnp.

Have you updated java to JRE 6 ? you didnt say, & it will be better for 64bit
Peace.

I could not find a JRE 6 on the Java site anywhere but I did read in the Java forums that 1.5 should work fine with 64bit so no I did not change it.

As I stated in another post I made, this is a new computer and Limewire worked fine until I started using the new computer. It also works fine on my laptop with no problems.

I will try the ports that you recommend and see if that helps any. I just had it set at the default port that it came with.

If you can give me a link to download that JRE 6 I would appreicate it.

Java link you wanted
 

Heres the link, Use the offline installer.
Dont forget to uninstall all java, before install, Dont install over the top.

Peace.

It seems I am having the same problems as other users. I had Limewire on my old computer, but on this new computer, it will NOT let me download anything.

I am using the same router, ISP, and broadband modem. In addition, here is the requested information you asked for.

1. what OS version? (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) Windows XP SP2
2. What firewalls you have ? Windows
3. How much ram ? 2 GB
4. Hard Disk space available ? 120 GB
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ? Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ? Motorola SB 5120 modem, D-Link DI604 Ethernet Broadband router
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.) ? [B******[/B]
8. What version,LimeWire & Java? 4.12.11 for Limewire and 1.5.0.11_11 for Java
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? Time Warner
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? It said YOUR TEST WORKED in bold letters.
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.? This is my first time having problems
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? Yes
14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall? My firewall never asked me to give permission to Limewire. Not on this computer, and not on my old computer. I dont think Windows Firewall asks for permission. That might be the problem since I have the brick wall in front of the blue globe.
15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? XP Firewall is ON.


Please help me. Thanks!

erieview417,
What happens when you try to download files? Are you properly connected (ie are all your connection bars green)?

Make sure LW's allowed thru the XP firewall, check the link below for instructions.
Firewall setup

Your router has a firewall. Enable UPnP within the router & then use the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config.
See if the brick wall goes away. If not, try port forwarding.

Here are the instructions for your router. Don't forget to set up a static IP address first!

Remember that LW's listening port, port in LW's 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router all have to be the same number;)
