IT HAS ONE GREEN BAR AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZ SOMEONE HELP ME. 1. OS version? XP 2. What firewalls you have? WINDOWS ONECARE 3. How much ram? DUNNO 4. Hard Disk space available? 48 GB 5. Connection type? CABLE 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? MODEM: LIBERTY CABLE VISION, ROUTER: BELKIN 7. Where are you trying to connect from? HOUSE 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LIMEWIRE 4.12.11 , JAVA 1.5.0_11 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? DUNNO 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 PAGE 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? IS UTORRENT ONE?... 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? WHAT?!? |

Remember the other things I suggested that you try (in your first thread, there were a few different things to try apart from reinstalling Java)?? Try those And please tell us the model of your router. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/273449-post4.html Does utorrent connect? |

Like I said before, something's blocking LW's default port...could be your ISP. Who do you pay for your internet, is it Liberty Cablevision? I can't find any evidence that they block ports, but that's no guarantee that it's not what's happening. You could try some other ports in the range of 49152 - 65535. Has your brick wall disappeared? Providing that your software firewall is configured properly, port forwarding should get rid of the brick wall icon. Just in case, try these instructions. Remember, LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within a router all have to be the same number. And don't forget to set up a static IP address first. Port Forwarding for the Belkin F5D7230-4 Do you know anyone, in the same local area with the same ISP, that can use LW without a problem? If it is your ISP at fault, there's probably not much you can do. |

ok I got 3 bars for about 10 seconds.... so I tried to search somthing but then it disconected... something I just realized is that every time I have fixed and/or used limewire it has been really late at night.... does that have something to do with it? |

Quote:
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 If you're seeing the firewall icon still, either means that there's a software or hardware firewall causing problems. Are you sure you configured your software firewall correctly? Are you sure you port forwarded correctly? Did you set up a static IP address before port forwarding? I don't know if the hours make a difference...some ISPs block or shape p2p at certain times of day. You still haven't confirmed whether your ISP is Liberty Cablevision. If nothing works, I'd start looking at your ISP. Or maybe someone else here has some more ideas?? |
