![]() I just got a new computer today. Downloaded limewire, which ive used before. It installed and is running fine. But its not connecting. At the bottom left all the bars are in red, and when i try to search it tells me that its connecting to the network. But its not getting anywhere. I dont have a firewall up. running windows vista. what could the problem be? |

![]() 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows Vista Home Premium 2. What firewalls you have? Windows and Norton 3. How much ram? 2 gigs 4. Hard Disk space available? 140 gigs 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) broadband wireless 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? no idea 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? hotel 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 ver. 4.12.11 java ver 1.6.0 - oem 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? not sure 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? internet explorer cannot display the webpage 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. i stay in hotels. on a wireless network. i talked to the front desk they said limewire should not be blocked, its a problem on my end. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. not my first time, but im no guru 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes, a brick wall and all red bars. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? i have no idea... |

![]() See my comments here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-download.html Also, it would be good if you can find the brand name & model of your router. |

![]() ok... i disabled windows firewall alltogether... and no one here knows the brand name or model of the router, but earlier tonite there was a lady working down there who told me i should be having no problem connecting to limewire. the problem is on my end. |
| |||
![]() disabled wndows firewall and have allowed access to limewire within norton... restarted limewire, brick wall is still there... i dunno... i was told i should not have a problem connecting to limewire, that the problem is on my end... you pay 5 dollars a day to use the internet at extended stays... |
