 How is this possible ? Limewire Pro tells me that 'your machine does not appear to have an active Internet Connection or a Firewall is blocking Limewire from accessing the Internet'. However, I'm able to access Google, surf the net and post on this forum. There is no 'brick-wall' icon next to the 'globe' icon on Limewire Pro's page, I have 'allow full access' regarding Limewire on my security system and my monitor icon on the taskbar says 'status-connected'. So anyone have any thoughts on what's wrong here ? Edit - downloaded 'purger .zip' but everything happened so quickly I don't know where it went, did a search, no results, so where could it be ? I've read the sticky and believe my ISP does not block Limewire since I have downloaded tons of stuff in the past without problems. More info - Modem in living room - Wireless Router near Modem - Computer at the other end of the house in bedroom (about 20 feet away). Problems like this with Limewire are intermittent. A wee bit more - in the sticky 'for those who can't connect' when you say 'delete the entire directory' do you mean delete the limewire folder within 'Documents & Settings' ? How will Limewire run without that folder ? Last edited by Robert the Bruce; March 28th, 2007 at 10:47 AM. Reason: More information  |

 I think you're talking about deleting the preferences folder? That folder contains your preferences within LW's options. Delete the folder & a new one will be created when you restart LW. But all options will have reverted to default...you'll have to go back through options & reset things to the way you like them  See point 3 below for instructions. Make sure LW's properly closed before you delete the prefs! Fixes for LimeWire If that doesn't help, please post your details. System details - help us to help you |

| That message may pop up if the connection was interrupted. Once the connection came back up the dialog may not have cancelled itself (I thought this was fixed a while back . . . ). |

 Appears to have worked. So far so good, deleted .limewire folder and now have Turbo-Charged Connection, only hope it lasts. Still don't know why problem occurred in the first place. One problem however, now I have tons of music vid's that were previously available for sharing now with red text. I clicked on 'share file' but none of the file's changed to black. WHY ? SORRY, checked again and as I speak file's are changing to black - WHOOPEEE ! Last edited by Robert the Bruce; March 31st, 2007 at 05:28 AM. |
