So Limewire won't work on my puter either. I'm so confused. My roomate is connecting on port 6346 just fine and I cant connect at all. I called my school and they told me they are blocking all ports to stop people from using limewire because it is interfering with the bandwidth. But he had no explanation as to how my roomies puter can connect. So whats up? I've done every trick told in these threads.

For firewall issues make sure you see http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml
Another alternative is to try the bete LW 4.1.4, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27366 for info & link to dwnld site.

You don't seem to understand. We have done all that. It does not work. You all need to come up with a fix for this firewall problem.

Why don't u ask your roommate & tell us how he did it? You haven't told us anything about your setup. See this. If u want us to work it thru with u, write down every single detail about your settings & your roommates. 'If' you've read all the suggestions & related threads, then you can obviously tell us what your "Recieved incoming this session" report said. You are obviously behind a firewall. Keep in mind there's not only your school's firewall but also your os (presumably xp), will most likely have its own firewall. Not only that but Norton products can also interfere with connections. Give us all the details u possibly can. It's difficult to solve a puzzle if u don't have any pieces of it.

I have a Dell 4100. 512 MB ram, XP home, no sp2. LAN is how we connect. Under network lan properties i have selected file and printer sharing, as well as checking the other boxes. I do not have norton. I have zonealarm, but turned it off. 6346 is the port limewire is using. I have read all threads, and tried all tricks including various versions of limewire, beta included. I am very knowlegeable of networks, and computers. I have come to the conclusion that there is the school firewall interfering somehow. I hope i'm wrong. The bug report says false which means the problem is the firewall. ok theres my info.

Oh my Gawd!! How many pages are in this thing?!!

Anyway, did you ask your rommie about his setup (if he won't tell you or says he doesn't know, sneak up to his puter and get the info yourself: don't let him hog all the fun)

I'm not going to snoop on my roomates computer, i dont think he wants me going through his computer, and i dont blame him. He says that he just has it default settings.

Yo bek, you did connect if it says Poor. Now your problem is all about using your connection to download. Go check the sticky thread about maximizing download success and leave LW on for awhile: it may take a little time for it to establish a stable connection to the network.

Hey helbigtw, I'm guessing since you're knowledgable about nets and stuff that you've disabled/configured XP's firewall, right? Well, if it so then it's possible that either:
-Your roommate is a nasty hacker that has found a way to succesfully go through the firewall

or

-The firewall is, for some weird reason, configured to allow only your friend's computer to have FTP connections (don't laugh: it is possible)
