![]() I can't get Limewire to connect no matter what I do. I tried the deleting the directory or whatever thing. I tried the adding Gnutella to the firewall exceptions. I don't have Norton Internet Security (atleast I don't think I do, I tried looking for it all over). I tried turning off Windows Firewall. Unless there's something I didn't do already, I don't know what to do. I have Windows XP, a dial-up connection, Limewire version 4.8.1, and Windows Firewall (can't find any other firewalls). It uses a modem. Can someone please help me!?!? |

![]() Shadow921 you use an aol proxy. AOL is reknown for problems for LW users. If you're using a proxy, did you configure that into your LW settings (LW's menu Tools>Options>Advanced>Proxy/Firewall.) |

A.Open it B.Select Personel Firewall C.Select Configure on the right of the screen D.On the new screen that comes up, select Peograms E.Find Limewire and make sure its on Automatic or Permit All F. If not select modify and change it to Permit All |

![]() OK let me turn the apple cart over. I battled for more than six weeks to no avail to get LW connected. My ISP assured me he was not blocking me and yet no connection.Not even WinMX was connecting. Reading through sites as well as Microsoft forum it appeared that I might have a Winsock problem. I ran a repair WinXP Pro install and since then I have been up and running with no problems. I do not suggest everyone to do this but I am sharing my success with you. I run with Windows Firewall and Microsoft Anti Spyware on. For what it's worth I am sure everybody knows the importance of Winsock.dll etc |
