![]() Still not connecting to limewire. here are my specs once again... 1. OS version? Windows XP Home Edition 2. What firewalls you have? Windows 3. How much ram? 512 4. Hard Disk space available? over 1G 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys WRT54GS 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?town house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.12.11 and Java 1.0.5_11 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Atlantic Broadband 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? test worked 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes, sharing w/ a laptop 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem with experienced user 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes This is what I have tried.... I have tried using PPnP, tried to manually forward the port number, i tried deleting just .limewire and reopening, tried uninstalling the security update for windows, tried reinstalling java JDK 5_11, tried disabling all firewalls, tried unplugging router and connecting straight to modem, had a 45min conversation with my service provider to find out they DO allow P2P file sharing and are not the ones prohibiting my limewire connection, tried installing limewire on the laptop and it will not connect, and finally i tried starting all over completely from scratch by uninstalling and reinstalling limewire and java over again (twice) and so far nothing has worked. Can someone PLEASE let me know what the heck I can do to get LW to connect? I am starting to get a little frustrated and it seems that the support guys kinda forgot about me last time I posted. Thanks |
