Try highlighting the files one at a time and click resume that should start a search for the file if LimeWire can find any sources it should start downloading. Only do 1 or 2 at a time if you do to many at once it could cause your connection to become unstable

12 its false
13 214kbps for the download 213kbps for the upload

i hope this gives you all you need to know...

Test #10 says your port is blocked it is probably your wireless router. The link below is the page you need to start on for your router you will need to setup a static IP address first just follow the instructions.

Could the reason I can't connect to Limewire have anything to do with the fact that I am connected through Airport Extreme and Airport Express routers? I've done everything else thats been suggested and nothing seems to correct the problem. Any thoughts?

Hey im not shure if this will wurk, but i cant even install because limewire disconnects my internet as install it, i am currently running Windows XP And have a wireless Router and Wireless Connection, it works hardware now what is da deal with the wirelesss, why wont it work and is there any patches or solutions u have for this problem

1. Install Java 1st: Fixes for Limewire

2. Get the "Offline" installer version of LW.

3. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

BTW most wireless routers/modems have NAT firewalls. So unless you have UPnP abilities you may need to manually port forward.

I have turned off the firewall and currently it is still disconnecting me from my network, what is wrong with it?


Also what do you mean by port forward?

http://portforward.com/routers.htm But check my suggestion in my pm 1st to see if it makes any difference. If not than use the above link.
