Hello all.

I have tried the many suggestions you have posted regarding connection problems. My situation is a little different I think than the others. I am using windows xp home, and when I try to use limewire I only get one connection bar, two if I'm really lucky. However my husband has no problems under his user screen. He gets a turbo connection right away, and I keep being told i'm behind a firewall or not connected to the internet. I configured my zonealarm as recomended, checked to make sure windows firewall is not on, and followed the directions to delete my user settings, not allow auto connect, etc.

I don't understand why he has no problem and I do. We are sharing from the same folder, which I set up under all users for our easy access in xp. We are sharing close to 800 files in that folder. Can someone please help me figure out why limewire doesn't like me.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hello, I tried your ideal of deletting the folder you told us to delete at the start of this thread and it works. The only thing is i have to do this every time I start lm. Is thier a download or somesort of fix so we dont have to keep doing this all the time. getting old. Thanks

Hey Kag, you're using a router, right?

I tried what you said to do and I still can't get it to connect. I payed for kazaa lite and part of the downloading is to choose a server and I choose limewire and now I can't get it to connect to the server and I can't download anything

Please help!!!!!!

Hi eldutton
Your method of getting Limewire (LW) sounds a little suspicious. Did you actually pay for LW? Did you get it from here?: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

So tell us about your system & setup: What OS version (eg- Windows 98), what connection type & devices (ie: What modem brand name & model number? eg: D-Link 604G; Where are you conncecting from (home, school, work, etc.)?

I went to Kazaa lite.com and in order to get it I had to pay 39.99 and after I payed it came up with a list of downloads such as Limewire, bearshare,morphous,etc. I have a friend who has limewire so I thought ok I will use it, so I downloaded it and it won't connect and stay green.

I run off of windows xp with a wireless card.I think it is an atheros card. I don't have internet at home so I hook up at the university I go to.

Thanks

I cannot even disconnect. I closed it out, though, by using the X. Then I deleted the entire folder. I am still connected and cannot disconnect AND I cannot get anywhere. When I hit search, I receive a msg. saying I am "not connected to the network."
Hmmm.

Thank you much! This is just fine.....do to my firewall issues

Me and my house mates all use Limewire as our download station but recently none of use have been able to get connected. I was curious to see whether it was something internal with limewire that has gone down.

Nixie155: There's no central server on the Gnutella network. It's simply sharing b/w you, me & others. Have a think about anything you've installed recently on your system(s). Hope you didn't install SP2 b/c you don't need it & it may cause you big headaches! Do you lot use a router? If so what brand name & model no. is it? Many Routers block many ports for incoming.
