Good Afternoon:

Hello to everyone in the community.

I just sen an e-mail too tech support. I am serious problems about getting connected to LimeWire. I was spam by MP3MusicHQ and paid for the service and the program worked/ Unfortunately when I purchased the service from LimeWire I just cannot get connected and I have re-loaded Pro and Java but no success and have listed the port to my firewall.

Please help and I am still awaiting response from my e-mail. Is there something wrong with the download software.

Unhappy AMarie

I've been a subscriber to Limewire for the last 4 or so years, and I am having trouble getting connected, also. This has been going on about a week. I figured I was being blocked because my subscription ran out, so I upped to Pro. My security center approves my exception to Limewire, but when I click on the site it shows the firewall blocking the connection. What's up?

I'm feeling like I got conned into this.

Hi, I just downloaded the LW 4.14.10 Pro
I have a Microsoft Windows XP as a home computer
I already enabled LM to my firewall but there is still a brick wall with a world
I have Java 1.5.0_11
I have AVG Anti Virus

I think I am having problems connecting I have 4 out of 5 red bars and I'm not getting results when I search for songs?

Pt. 2: Can't connect...
I'm an experienced LW user (4 yrs?).
I have a home Dell pc (71.6 GB Total; 38.4 free space)/ Windows XP.
Just purchased LW 4.14.10 Pro today (sorry to say).
Just downloaded Java 1.5.0_09
I'm on cable/Comcast.
I'm on McAfee security/firewall (newly installed).
I passed the "simple test".
I live in the US.
I'm not sharing the connection with other computers.
Yes, a brick wall is in front of the icon.

I hope this gives you enough detail. As I said above, this problem started a week ago w/ my old LW. I look forward to getting this settled. I've wasted far too much time trying to solve this problem.
