If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. 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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. 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.

Recheck your ip. The most common mistake made when people forward a port is not setting up the static ip properly. If that was the case, you should delete the port forward settings you have & redo them. Port forwarding is based on the ip used at the time.

I'd suggest uninstalling your java versions you have & reinstalling using the control panel. Then reinstall LW using the "Offline" installer (it will uninstall the previous copy of LW at beginning of installation.) recheck your Norton FW settings; Configuring Norton Internet Security. Make sure your XP or any other firewalls are turned OFF! Also, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

I can't give much more advice because you haven't given your system & peripheral set up specifics.

15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? Using Vista firewall
BT do in fact shape bandwidth for p2p use. Also I believe the BT connection devices need special configuration. Check the BT support pages on their website & check the details of your particular device. It may need port forwarding. Also recheck your Vista firewall settings. And make sure you don't have other active firewalls on your computer. Generally found in the control panel. Check your anti-spyware, etc. utilities to be sure none are blocking LW.

Try these fixes and you should be right to go...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...

I have done everything that has been said to do and i've look at so many different posts and tried so many things and i still can't seem to get LW to connect. Here is my problem, a couple of days ago i was downloading songs and it was working perfectly fine, then all of a sudden it stopped connecting. When i try to download it says connecting for a couple of minutes then it says need more sources. Does anyone know of any other ways to fix this problem??? I could really use the help as i seem to be getting very frustrated. thanks. oh yeah, i forgot to add that i have the basic version of LW

Hi lismarie06,

So there's nothing actually wrong with your LW's connection to the network? It's just that files won't connect for download? This thread's about problems when LW won't connect to the network

There are heaps of fake files around. They'll sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. Try the tips in these threads & remember to always check a video file with Bitzi (music doesn't get rated as often) before download

Fake files showing up in search results
How to find music (also has info that applies to video)

If it's happening with every single file that you try to download (do a test...search for an old song & try to download a file with 10 sources or less), delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 below, also point 2 if you've used much older versions of LW in the past.

This will kill all of your settings within options. You'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them

Default Tried Everything

I tried disabling tool tips and clearing out the directory. I enabled the Exception for Windows Firewall (my only one) and it still says that I'm firewalled. I also tried getting the JRE solution and it still says that I'm ****ing firewalled! I'm honestly about to leave LimeWire. I couldn't connect to that "Your test worked!" page. It's supposed to be testing if your ISP blocked the port right? Well it's not my school network, my roomate can connect fine. It should work because I allowed the exception in Window's firewall. It still says that I am blocked.

What the hell is going on? PLEASE HELP!!!

There's no fixing this. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall and it's still not working. A quick answer would be preferable.
