why doesn't my browse server work?
 

everytime I try to browse a server I get no results. Why?

:confused: ...Do you mean each time you try to browse a host ??
There are no servers for limewire it's p2p which means you share files with other computer user's such as yourself...
There can be many factors as to why you cannot browse another user, such as they may be behind a firewall and they will need to have the chat function enabled...;)

I hit browse host, when it is an option and there isp comes up as if it will be loading any second, but I never get any stuff anymore. I did when I first started using Limewire but now I don't, ever. If I got some stuff once in a while I wouldn't think it was a problem.
I have started Peer Guardian and a firewall, both are recent installs and I think they have something to do with it. Any advice?
Also, does anybody know how to set up Peer Guardian? I just installed it and haven't really done much to it.
While we're at it, can you find a listing in Bitzi and then locate it in Limewire? How?

Here's a the link to Peerguardian's faq's..

What firewall have you recently installed and have you configured it properly ??
Also do you see a brick wall in front of the globe in limewire ??

You can preform a search using Bitzi, if you find a file you like, click on it and then scroll down until you see the magnet link for the Gnutella network and click on it...
Limewire will open up and endeavour to find sources for that file...If you see the need more sources click on find sources...;)

I installed Sygate personal firewall and I don't know if it is configured properly but I do see a brick wall in front of the globe. I am currently trying to optimize the firewall's settings, but it will take some time.

I tried what you said with bitzi, because that is what I had read elsewhere and it didn't work, but I will try again now. Nope, nothing. I am hitting the link for magnet to gnutella, but nothing at all happens in Limewire. Should it be opening up a window or doing something to let me know that it recognizes that I want it to find that magnet? I am using Mozilla Firefox by the way.

Also, everytime I return here, I have to reset my password. Why?
Thanks very much for the help.

Try the tips in this link on configuring the Sygate Firewall...

If you still have trouble what's the name and model number for your modem/router ??

With the magnet links make sure you have limewire open and you click on the Gnutella link not the edonkey one...
It should open up for you...

I will ask Admin about your password problem...;)

I heard from Admin and they have said there doesn't seem to be a problem at this end...It's more than likely browser related...
Some browsers need to be added to either or both a clearance & a cookie list. Otherwise passwords are not retained. Most passwords are cookie related.....;)

Well, I think I have all of the past problems worked out. However it seems that sometimes, the browse host just never works.

Since we're having this dialog though I have two more questions. I downloaded Avast, AntiVir, Bit Defender 8, Peer Guardian, SpyBot and AVG to protect myself from viruses, Trojans, worms etc that I might pickup from Limewire. A friend told me that having all of those on my computer at the same time will really slow it down is that true?

Also, I recently moved some folders around and when I opened Limewire it didn't restart the previous downloads. I now have a whole bunch of incomplete files in my "incomplete" folder. Many of them were mostly finished being DL'd. Can I get them to complete themselves somehow?

Ohw, also, the magnet thing still doesn't work for me, any ideas?

Don't have all of those Antivirus apps on your computer, they will clash with each other and won't protect you at all...

Keep either Advast or Antivir or AVG, All 3 are good, but choose only one..
Keep AVG antispyware
Keep Peerguardian
Keep Spybot

I'm not sure about Bitdefender I have never used it...

I have AVG antispyware, Ad-Aware, Spybot...
Peerguardian
And AVG Antivirus...

I'm not familiar with moving the incomplete folder around, but you might want to set your folders back to default, hopefully they will return to normal..;)
