i've just upgraded my laptop to make it wifi and now i can't get limewire to connect.

it's a belkin 54g router,

and im using limewire pro.

any advice on what i can do to rectify this problem????

please!!!!!!

Take a look at this post http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...-10-5-1-a.html
It's my guess the wireless is causing problems. The belkin having it's own firewall. Belkin's are generally best & more reliable port forwarded.

Also make sure your OSX firewall is either turned off or set permissions for LW to operate through; OSX Firewall settings for Tiger (similar instructions.)

i now have a different router its a thompson router.

i tried all that you said but i still can't connect.

Take a look at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/306179-post17.html & see if this applies to you.

i've read it through tried the same things but to no joy.

im using limewire pro 4.12 i tried to update it but it won't recognise my email address.

am i completely stuck?

ive tried downloading other programs like torrent and soulseex but they don't connect either.

Pro support only lasts for 6 or 12 months, depending on which option you purchased. The 12 month option has only been available for about 6 months.
