 Hi there, I have read all of the "cant connect posts" for the last 4 months or so. It seems I am having a similar problem to the rest of you. I am finding that when I log on it will not connect at all. It was fine when I first downloaded the program, so I deleted it and downloaded it again, It was fine and now is not connecting again. I have tried manually connecting, I have no files on there and no incomplete files. I know you asked a few questions like what connections I have etc. I am a dumbo at computers so there are only a few that I am aware of: windows XP 512MB Ram home use computer dial up modem I have also checked my firewalls please can you help me out?

 loz did you try the fixes above? Fixes for LW & deleting your LW Preferences folder? Try it!  RevRocket: That test result is extremely poor news!!! It means that port 6346 is totally blocked! We can only hope that forwarding a port (opening port 6346) will fix this. 1. 1st you will need to set up a static ip. See instructions on 1st line of next page link: Port Forwarding Guides for the Westell 2200 Wirespeed B90 2. When you get to the port forwarding stage, use Port 6346 3. You have a choice of setting your force ip to auto or manual in the new version of LW. Force IP instructions & sample image But you said you've already done this. Note: When doing port forwarding, you MUST have a static ip. This is crucial otherwise it won't work. Next time you log on your different ip will mean your port will be ignored if you have a dynamic ip. If mistakes are made most people make mistakes setting up the static ip so read the instructions very carefully! Good luck. |

| can't connect I can't connect to limewire anymore! I have the basic 4.8.1 version that i just updated to a few days ago. limewire worked fine for me before but ever since i did this limewire isn't working for me. i've read through the forum and i did the port thing on my firewall, deleted my preferances folder, and did that test which was successful. i don't know what is wrong. i'm practically computer illiterate so please help! i have windows and a cable connection if that helps. Oh and it used to say just connecting for a long time and never tried to connect to an ultrapeer and now all of a sudden it only is connecting for a few minutes and then goes to disconnected. Please help! |

| stays on connecting I am running a new G4 Powerbook 60gb hd 256 MB DDR SDRAM University LAN ( T1 I Think, it is very fast!) On the new update limewire version 4.8.1 with Osx 10.3.8 My problem seemed to start about 3 weeks ago when i downloaded the new version of limewire at a similar time to an update of OSX Since september i have been using limewire and have had no problems up untill this point. 1. I have tried over the last few weeks getting rid of my preferences. 2. Stoping the hint box coming up along with automatic connection. 3. Forcing ip and entering new proxies. Its getting late now but i have spent hours and hours trying new things from ALL the forums. I have tried the test page to see if the port 6346 is open (says its successfull). I have even tried reinstalling the whole operating system. All with no luck! :-( One thing i have found that has no answer on is that when checking the bug report sample it says FALSE for Recived incoming this session. People have said in this forums that this is bad. But why and what can i do about it? If it is a case of changing the proxy i have tried and failed. (I got the proxies from a google search and it said on the site i looked at "last checked today") That should work if that was the case wouldn't it? I would be gratefull if ANYBODY could give me any suggestions for this!! I do love LW (when it works). |

| I've spent years in networking, routing, advanced rule sets, MiRC and FTP server/file transfers, various remote access software through several server, router, and firewall combinations and configurations but this new age of P2P clients is a joke. There has to be better options then just setting up DMZ which even at that seems to have issues. I've read more forums in the last few days on this P2P stuff then I've read in the last several months on networking in general. I know where a part of the problem exists on occasion but I can only speculate as there is no real informative info to accompany why this or that is not connecting or if the file/source found is incorrect or other and most of the time just sits and waits with out warning as to why it is really waiting. It just leaves you wondering if you should search out and wait for something else other then the vague reasons I have seen which really tell a guy like me nothing. Very frustrating. Idea's? |
