Grandpa- Looks like everyone's keeping you busy with their questions! I went to make sure that the UPnP settings were enabled for my router, which is a D Link DI-624. I found instructions at this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;323713 But it was already enabled... |

Just an update. I was having a similar problem to those listed here. I adjusted my anti-hacker (from kasperski (great program!)) to allow limewire in the exceptions and now limewire works fine. Thanks for the assistance. Hope this may help someone else. Ace |

So, Grandpa, is there anything I can do to connect? I really want to use Limewire, and I'm sure it's some little thing that I need to do and everything will start working great... I just need to figure out what that one litte thing is... |

We are going to need a little more info. Can you give us a total description of your set up: 1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal) 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11. 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? These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. * Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml 12. Do This test, Is the result True/False? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False 13. Do a speed test post the results here. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ |
