Hi folks,
I'm using os x 10.3.9 and xp sp2 on a windows domain with a proxy.
The fact is that I can connect LW with xp but can't connect using os x 10.3.9.
I'm really disappointed about the fact that LW on my os x 10.3.9 can't connect. I went to LW preferences and set proxy to the proxy server IP but nothing change.
Can anybody help !! Thanks

Default Starting Connection?

I keep reading about how everyone has "connection lights" and how it turns red and green and whatnot. All I have are 5 bars, the smallest is green and the rest are red, and it reads "Starting Connection". I figured it may just take a while to connect, so I kept it running overnight to see if that would do the trick, but alas, it did not. So I've tried deleting the .limewire file from my Documents & Settings folder, and restarting. Didn't work. I've tried the whole "don't automatically connect" and restart. Didn't work. I've reinstalled quite a few times [4, to be exact] and it never does anything different than "Starting Connection". My best friends uses LW and gives it rave reviews, so I just want to be able to enjoy it as much as she does. Please help me!! If anyone has advice, please either respond here or email me the advice to aww__sugar@hotmail.com. Thanks so much.

-Robyn

everlong_x we need more details about your set up. How are you set up exactly? How are the comp's networked? What modem/router devices do you use? Are you trying to run multiple LW's or p2p sharing programs simultaneously? What type of connection do you have & what's the official line speed? Please supply as many details as possible. Also see the list of questions I generally ask people to answer.

Actually, I found the problem. I was trying to add Gnutella to my old firewall server. But after finding my current one and adding the IP address of Gnutella to the "Allow" list, it's working great. Thank you for the advice you've given that led me to go searching around more. You are an angel.
