Connection Problems Problems getting the LimeWire or WireShare program connecting to the Gnutella network.

i let it set there for like 5 mins, it stays red, keeps popping up that i have no connection or a firewall is enabled. i havent done port forwarding or anything. i just dont understand why yesterday it worked fine and now upgrade and have to go through all these problems. ive never had to add any ports or anything the last times ive updated limewire, just this time it seems unwilling to cooperate. thanks for the help |

So you had LW before & it was working? If yes, then try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Otherwise if this is your 1st use of LW, can you tell us your connection devices brand & model no.'s. Who is your ISP provider? Did you do this test? Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Another option is to change the port LW uses. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls, & change the listening port from 6346 to another like these 1111, 3500, 4008, 1203, 80, 20282, 10000, 443, 40475. Ports can be blocked due to ISP blocking, connection devices, etc. Different solutions to each. |

Connection Failure Hi I have tried deleted the preferences folder and purger.jar with no luck. PowerMac G3 (Sonnet G4 1 GHz processer upgrade), OSX 10.3.9. I am on a wireless home network. Thanks Kalo Last edited by kalo; August 19th, 2005 at 02:08 PM. |

kalo it sounds like it might be your wireless set up that's causing an issue. If it doesn't utilise UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) which allows LW to communicate directly with the device to open a port, then you may need to manually forward (open) a port for LW. 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? Can you tell us the brand & model no.'s of your connection devices? ie: each one. Where are you trying to connect from (home, work, school, etc.)? Are you on a shared connection with other computers? |
