I followed the instructions for the firewall you gave me, and got everything else sorted out. I tried using LW for a short while and all went well.I didn't get back to LW until this morning and now it opens, but before I can even start to use it - it shuts down.
I followed the instructions given in the posting below mine, took out the preference folder of LW and deleted it. I then did a disk permissions and software update, nothing. Did a restart and still nothing!! Strange that it actually worked for awhile before I changed the firewall according to your instructions.

If you have the start up disk, start up with the one that has utilities folder on it. To start up with such a disk, hold down C key whilst booting. THen go to utilities folder & open Disk Utility. Do NOT repair permissions from this disk because the permissions will be different. Instead use Repair Disk option. Hopefully this will repair whatever's wrong. Then reboot normally & try again.

Out of curiosity may I ask which state you're living in.

I've got an old powerbook but I have 10.4.8 on it and the updated Java. I thought I would have a go at downloading LW onto this and am coming up against the same problems.
Does this mean it is happening to many of us? I have just downloaded the 1st new address and I got the same thing, it opened up but nothing came into the main window. Because I am having the same trouble on 2 computers I feel it might be something I am not doing. I feel it might be the firewall is there anyway I can send you screenshots?

Are you sure you have UPnP enabled on your Linksys device? Double-check.

Go to LW's prefs, keyboard shortcut is apple/command key & comma ,

Go to advanced -> Firewalls & check that it's set to UPnP.

Go to Speed setting & disable ultrapeer settings. Set the speed which is equivalent to your connection speed. I set it at modem because my speed is only 256 kbps. Likewise make appropriate settings in slider for downloads & uploads options.

Go to Connections & disable connect at start up. Instead, wait a few mins after opening. Then go to File menu -> Connect.

You can post attachments in your post if you wish. Max size is 100 KB per image & 5 images per post. You need to press Post Reply or Go advanced to get image attachment options.

Yes UPnP is enabled. When I went to Limewire Preferences and advanced the listening port was 41455, it definitely was 6346 before. Anyway I did change it. Now the speed settings I set to modem, I have 512 but I had it set DSL before and it didn't work so I changed it. Ultra peer and OOB I have checked. Downloadbandwidth and upload bandwidth had the slider set to 100%.
I unchecked connect on startup

This is the message I got.
Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network.
Also there is still the redbrick wall behind the blue ball in the LW window.

Default Limewire won't install

Disk copy should be in disk utility right?
I have been going over your posts doing the steps one by one on my laptop. I came across the disk copy step and the way your looks is very different to mine. I decided to include a screen shot so you could see where I am and what I am talking about.

Your image is disk utility. Disk Utility & Disk Copy are 2 different programs. However Disk Utility can do a few of the things Disk Copy can do anyway. Both can be found in the Utilities folder. Arrange the utilities folder by list & you'll probably see both side by side.

I notice you have LW jum mounted. Are you running LW from the mounted image or from your applications folder?
