 Are you aware of problems with Cox? See this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&highlight=cox 1. What firewalls you have, 2. ram, 3. HDD space available, 5. Connection type, 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers Yes these xtra details can help. Further to the 1st note about Cox I just did a quick search: http://www.broadbandreports.com/shownews/56054 & also Google results about Cox's pain inflicting I've read articles myself over the past couple of months but hadn't made any note about them.

| HELP!!! Can't connect I run on MAC OS 9 and up until two days ago my free limewire was running beautiful. I couldn't connect today at all so I bought the pro. Then I came here, dowloaded the MRJ 2.2.5, reinstalled the software several times, deleted the preferences file .limewire. I connect via cable and again through a router. Router is a wirless-G 2.4 GH Linksys is the brand. I'm kind of stupid when it comes to the router as I have been on a hub up til about a week ago. I MISS MY LIMEWIRE <<<<BOOO HOOO>>>> Can ANYONE help me?? Please. |

 still off Yes, still down. I called the ISP yesterday and they suggested that I plug directly into the computer. I did. Nothing. I trashed my cookies. I uninstalled and reinstalled Limewire many times all to no avail. I am beginning to wonder if it might be mostly related to the system 9 and before. Most software that I researched for f2f is written for X and now I am thinking that we are getting weeded out. It's so great, Limewire, that is. I hope that it is just my issue and when I finally have the funds to upgrade. I will be back! |

| Hi mac chick, can you tell us the actual model number of your Linksys? They generally have a type of internal firewall called NAT which reduces LW's capability to connect. We can show you how to forward a port (open a port to allow LW 100% access) if you give us the model number??? Also disregard Macs advice about Java & update to Java MRJ 2.2.6 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120209 (see this link for tips : click me!!!) Here's some more hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities. |

| LOR to the Rescue... I'm so glad you responded as you seem to know so much about this stuff. Wish you were sitting in my office with me! Anyway, here is the model number: WRT546 ver. 2 but DO remember that I tried to go right from the computer as well to see if that was the cause... it didn't work. I will LOVE YOU forever if you can help me get back on!!!  |

| So you're connecting from work? Your modem-router is a wireless router. I don't have specific instructions for your particular model but, I can direct you to other linksys models some of which are probably similar (see bottom of page - 2nd row from left & probably liik at othre wrt models): http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm & use port 6346 Make sure you setup a static ip 1st: http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm You will also need to force ip within LW: Force IP instructions & sample image |
