These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

| I know it seems redundant, and since there are so many writing about similar problems I don't know what thread to submit to. I have a problem going through my router, apparently, that I never had before. Had the same router for couple of years with no problem using Limewire, even through many successful upgrades and a firmware update. One day it worked the next it didn't. I have tried deleting the limewire preferences file, I have set up Windows firewall with every port change I've tried, I have set up a static IP and port forwarding with several port changes, I have set up windows 2000 compatibility mode. I know it is the router, because when I connect directly through the computer modem I have no problem. I can use Limewire a block away at work, so I know it is not being blocked by my ISP. I know the Linksys has a history in these threads, but just can't figure out why the sudden change. Here's my specs, and thanks for any help. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)Windows XP Home - SP2 2. What firewalls you have?Windows XP only - Use Avast for virus 3. How much ram?512 M 4. Hard Disk space available? 40+G free out of 80G 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL Fiberoptics 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys WRT54G version 1.1 with latest Firmware 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? [COLOR="blue"******[/COLOR] 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Version 4.12.6 and Java 1.5.0_09 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? EATEL 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. I have a Dell laptop and TIVO that access the wireless router 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Have used Limewire for over 5 years, never had a problem until now even with this router 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes |

| Two things you could try: First,....delete the LW preference folder (the old one named " .limewire " and the new one named " LimeWire ": Read here on how to delete these folders (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420 Afterwards reboot your computer. Second.... Uninstall LW and all Java versions on your system. Reboot and then download the JRE offline installer of the newest Java version from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp Install it and reboot again, then reinstall LW.

I still got nuttin'  In my last post on Nov. 6 I failed to mention several things that I have tried, but I have deleted both the .limewire and Limewire pref folders, reloaded Limewire and upgraded Java after the problems occurred. I have no problem with any other program through the router, and I downloaded a network mapping trial software suggested somewhere in here. No luck on any of those steps.Read foolofthehill's response, which I assumed was to Buffy, but not sure. I didn't do the reinstall and upgrade in that order, but Java didn't seem to be my problem. P.S. My previous post did not record my answer, but I am connecting from home. |

| Where do I find that limewire file? Where do I find the C:// file you keep mentioning? I would like to try it out and see if it fixes my connection problem. THanks  |

| Don't know if this is old news (ain't trawling thru this thread to find out), but this is what fixed it for me - had tried all the other stuff, disabling autoconnect, deleting /.limewire etc., none of that worked. What I did: - Tools - Options - Advanced - Firewall Config - select 'Do Nothing' (Router configuration) Restart - Limewire will now work. When restarted, go through the above steps and this time reselect 'Use UPnP'. It continued to work after that. Hope that helps some of you. |

| Didn't work for me either. Have tried everything I can find on this forum for months and still absolutely no progress in getting past my NAT firewall. Used to be able to physically bypass the router by connecting directly to ethernet cable, but last time I tried it would even connect that way. Pretty hopeless I'm beginning to see. |
