Hi Guys

I am using Limewire Pro on my G5 Mac (OS 10.4.11) which I have always been able to connect with, but suddenly it is unable to connect, giving me the same "starting connection" message that a lot of people are getting.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Mac OS 10.4.11
2. What firewalls you have? None active
3. How much ram? 2.5gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 56gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) BT Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? BT 2wire
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Work
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.14.10, Java 1.5.0_07
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? BT
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? Didnt work - server stopped responding
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Two macs, 1 PC, no other P2P
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Been using LW with no problems for several years
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP is enabled
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall none
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). England

Any help you can give would be much appreciated, as I miss my LW

Check with your work IT admin to see if they allow connections to the gnutella network.

Since the port 6346 test timed out, the work network might block that port.

I'm running a Mac OS X
no connection problems at Limewire.

Anyone connecting ok on a mac after having problems previously?

Wish I could say I was but I'm going on close to three months with barely any connections happening (every now and then I'll just get one host for an hour or two before it drops, about every couple of weeks or so).

How do I down load limewire pro to my Mac 0x-10. I already paid for 1 yr.

How do I down load of the limewire pro. Is not letting me post.

What am I suppost to do. Ger I get a phone# so that I can be guided through the process; They aready took my money.

Please see this link & follow directions: LimeWire doesn't connect on Mac OS X Leopard... What's the problem??? (click on blue link) & take the advice & if still problems post your details here.

Tried all things described in the link above and still no joy... Very frustrating...
