Cant Figure It Out
 

I sucessfuly downloaded LimeWire onto my PC, but when i try to search for a file no results pop up no matter how general of a topic i search for. I checked my firewall and it dose not appear to be that. Dose anyone have any suggestions for the kid??

Thanks for any help.

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If your result is false then you do have a firewall issue. It might be a modem/router NAT firewall.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
4. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
5. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
6. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
7. Who is your isp provider?
8. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
9. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
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 appreciate all of your help in advance


I dont know too much about computers but i can tell you this:

I have a brand new sony viao

it has vindows 200 on it
im pretty sure cy connection is cable
its a lynix system to the modem upstairs
i dont use any other file sharing programs at all

the test says it works

anyone have any ideas for me?? this is killin me

You have a wlan switch on the left of the lynix device, is it switched on? Try switching it to see if it makes a difference. If there's a UPnP switch on the box also turn it on.

If your test worked then things should be ok. I'm not sure what your problem is. If you can't get any search results then either your internet service provider (be that lynix) is blocking p2p sharing or you're not properly set up & connected with LW.

After opening LW, wait 10 mins or so until it says it is connected & the green bars are showing at the bottom left corner.

Try easy searches for a start. Try beatles or let it be. See if you get any results. If results come in, then select & press downld button.
