Connection problems/Firewall :( I am having problems connecting, it is saying that a firewall is enabled. I have went threw all the help pages and added limewire to be enabled. I have Teton Wireless for our ISP. Does anyone have any suggestions? |
Start off by making sure you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured for LW. Read this sticky, it has lots of info about connection/firewall problems. Connection problems? Check here first! We're going to need some details. System details - help us to help you |
1. OS version? (Windows XP home edition) 2. What firewalls you have? Norton 3. How much ram? 512 mg 4. Hard Disk space available? 30 gigs 5. Connection type? (380 K wireless) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? (Motoral-sb 5120 surfboard cable modem), (Linksys - model wrt54g - wireless-g broadband router) 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house)? 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW Pro 4.12.11 & Java 1.5.0_08 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Teton Wireless 10. 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? Your test worked. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I don't know 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have been trying for a week to get connected. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes |
Have you made sure that the windows firewall is off? Your router has an internal firewall. Try port forwarding, here are the instructions for your router. http://www.portforward.com/english/r...G/Limewire.htm Don't forget the step of setting up a static IP address first. The port forwarded through a router, LW's listening port & port in the 'manual port forward' box all have to be the same number;) If that doesn't help, try reconfiguring the Norton firewall.
