![]() Ok well i cant seem to connect to limewire anymore or it seems random when i can/cant 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP (sp2) 2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall BitDefender Modem/Router Firewall 3. How much ram? 504mb 4. Hard Disk space available? Free - 18.1Gb Total - 37.2Gb 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Trendnet TEW-435BRM (Version 1) 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home 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 Java 1.5.0_11 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Homecall (now Pipex) 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. Have another computer using the router but isnt turned on/connected 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Have used it for a while has worked before fine 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342 brick wall most of the time - sometimes not and will connect when not 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? LW is set to UPnP and has selected 46524 as its default after choosing "restore defaults" not too sure on router - have tried setting up firewall rules for LW both ways doesnt seem to help :S |
