I put a 1.3 Gig extension .rar files in my shared folder and sent out emails to my friends to download it.

To my surprise they were or unable to find the file or one person that has found it downloaded the file and its size was 34kb. ?!?

Please help me because this research information is important for me to get to my friends and I cant send via cd dvd or mail.

My email is brazilrealestate or user name brazilrealestate on skype or make posts directly here.

I really appreciate you guys and Im glued to the screen trying to figure this out, its really great to have forums like this one which are better than any tech support on the planet.Much more comfortable talking to peers anyways.

Thanks everyone
Marty

You could try to get them to direct connect to you, but to be able to do this you will have to make sure that none of you are behind a firewall...

Do you have a firewall in front of the globe in LW ? if you do, that is more than likely the reason that they cant find your file...

Also could you please edit out your email addy, you don't want some wacko getting hold of it and spamming you with all sorts of rubbish..It's against the forum rules to post them...
Cheers

Wow

First Time For Everything Right

turn yur firewall off?

dunno about anyone else here, but I feel butt naked without a firewall....no way Jose, my wall is always up!

Just configure your firewall to allow LW...But if you have a built in Nat firewall in your modem/Router you will have to either enable your UPnP or forward a Port...

Select Direct connect and it will show your Ip.... you enter your friends and they enter yours...

I have no idea what is a NAT firewall and how to enable UPnp or forward a port but i did disable the firewall because it was already configures to permit limewire all the access and tried direct connect with my wife at her office at the same time and both screens said could not browse host !

Thanks dear will keep trying

disabled firewall very temporarily just to try direct connect and it didnt work
