I have been using limewire for over a year and it has worked great. I also have high speed cable internet. I updated limewire, and now i cant find a single search result. I have tried everything you have put on here lord of the rings but nothing will work. Somethings that you have posted I do not understand. One thing i didn't understand was erasing the .limwire folder i couldn't locate it. I'm only 17 so i don't understand some of the stuff you are talking about please help me! Thank you.

your ports are now being filtered. there is nothing you can try and be successfull at finding results, ur only options are A) switch ISP's or B) download WinMX and download from there piece of crap network that they self-made

Hey guys, I was searching for a solution to my own problem, and this was the closest I could get. I also cannot get any search results with Limewire, except for a select few.

However, I have the ethernet, provided by my apartment complex, and I never had a problem with Limewire until recently. I just got a new computer for Christmas, and promptly installed Limewire, and it worked fine. Then about 3 days later, I stopped recieving as many search results.

After much puzzling, I came to the conclusion that the only search results I was recieving were the files from the hosts I am connected to under the "connections" tab. For example, if I select the "punk rock" genre under the search field, I will only get the punk rock songs that the three "ultrapeers" have on their computers. I am ALWAYS connected to the exact same three hosts, one of whom is named "AMANDA." I can browse these people's files with no problem and DL their files at amazing speeds, but I can't access any other files!

I have tried everything, including (but not limited to):

-uninstalling and reinstalling Limewire about 3 times
-deleting my entire hard-drive and starting over
-restoring factory defaults
-deleting the .limewire file and all other things LoTR mentioned

So... any suggestions?

(I know that post was waaaay long, but they said be detailed and specific... so yeah. )

It may be the administrator of your apartment network changed the router . . .

If those results are "blue stars" under speed, then you are getting only results from your local area network (LAN). Ask whoever configures the router for the LAN in your apartment to open port 6346.

btw--I've never seen a connection to an "Amanda"

Well, I am completely out of options it seems. Are my p2p days over? Insight has no answers, the forum has no answers. Still no results after trying all suggestions. Insight insists that it is not their network and the tech support folks say that LW is working fine at their homes using Insight.

One person came up with a solution. Why not try it: Important!!!!!!! A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire

i'm the one that came up with the solution =]

To any and all Insight users in the Northern KY area - here's a reply I got from their support. I say flood this guy with complaints.

Thanks for your email. I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulties with P2P applications. It is not Insight's policy to block P2P traffic.



Can you (and the other users, if possible) get me some more information, so I can look into this further? What specific apps are you using? Do you know the ISPs of the hosts you are having trouble with? Are there particular error messages? Any information you can get me would be helpful.



Thanks,

I'm trying to use Ne0teric's method, but one problem; I can't find the "force ip" button, where is it?

I posted a link to it & it's also listed on page one of this thread.
