![]() Let me start by saying, that my name is the truth. I know next to nothing about technology. I've decided to just type up a small answer per number that Birdy made way back in October '06. Easiest way to start :P 1. OS version? Windows XP Home Edition 2. What firewalls you have? Yahoo, it's never been a problem before. 3. How much ram? 512 MB 4. Hard Disk space available? Erm, a lot. 5. Connection type? Broadband (DSL) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I use a wireless internet. 7. Where are you trying to connect from: Home, a house in Southern Kansas. 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.(something) 9. Who is your ISP: AT&T Yahoo! 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? I get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Erm, the wireless internet... ehh.. blue box that makes it work is in the other room? (Technically Challenged) 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've been using LimeWire for about nine months, usually the problem is with the Wireless Internet, and I have to either restart my computer or mess with it. This time, it won't let me connect. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yeah.. It usually there though. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=115809934214. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Erm, to me, that was Spanish. 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Ad-Aware, AT&T Yahoo! Online Protection, and Spybot - Search and Destroy 16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). The USA. Basically, I went on, tried to search for [edit], and it said I was trying to connect to the server. I treid again later, and it still didn't work. __________________________________________________ Edited to comply with the House Rules.
