I'm from the UK - Hi!
I was running Limewire for 4 years till I joined Sky broadband and upgraded to Panther 10.3.9. I dumped my old version of Limewire and downloaded version 4.12.11. The 'slice of lime' bounces then stops!
I've been in Sharing>Firewall Tab - clicked the 'New' button and in Port Name, Gnutella/Limewire is shown. Underneath, a box called
Port number,Range or Series: 6346. After clicking OK,
Gnutella/Limewire(6346) is ticked in the Ports.I've tried 'other' and entered 'Limewire' 6346 but still nothing happens. On the Trouble Shooting page, it says enter the TCP and UDP port numbers as specified in Limewire's settings - What are these? and where do I get the numbers?
I have spoken to the ISP and they said that they do not block peer to peer conections. I have even put in the Panther disc 1 > optional installs> & installed BSD - still nothing. Any ideas people!!

Many Thanks - Con Booth.

Of course your isp will tell you anything so they won't lose your business. Besides, those at the front desk don't know. Many ISPs in UK do block or shape p2p.

As for your problem, check the tips here Can't launch LW: Bouncing in Dock (click on link) as at least one or a combination of those tips will work.

Got the bugger working!! ( British Term ) I went into software update, and there was a Java update for 10.3.9 Panther. After updating that, I just clicked on the 'slice of lime' in the dock and Limewire opened. Thankyou for the reply Mr Lord of the Rings! Bye the way, I've been to Middle Earth 3 years ago. New Zealand is a wonderful country. - conbooth.
