i have a g3 300 mac , installed mac os 9.2.2 and latest limewire software.
i can connect to the network and its excellent.
But when i search anything i cant get any result .
whatever i search i never find anything to download.

whats the problem and solution?
thank you

anybody?

There aren't many of still using OS 9 any more, so . . . don't really have recent experience with your problem, and am not sure exactly what the problem is. Sounds like you try a search, but no results show in the results columns.

Just a guess: Take a look at your connection tab (if not turned on, I think it's in the View menu), and look at the vendor/version column.

By disconnectiiong and reconnecting from the file menu, you should get a different set of hosts. Maybe the new hosts will return results.

You say the latest version, do you mean LW 4.0.10 or something? Go to LW's menu bar, Help->About LW & this will tell you.

If LW shows it has a good connection (all green bars or all light blue) & you can't get search results, then it might be due to your ISP. In the bottom left corner is the connection as suggested? Or do you get red bars? (see image sample below)

Try downlding a file from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
Do you get anything downlding?

After LW's been open at least 20 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? (Are you sharing any files?)

(Oh I didn't see Stief's post. I must have taken longer than I thought looking thru OS 9 snapshots lol )

i have LW 4.0.10 installed.
My connection bar shows all green and it says it is "Excellent"
I try to connect different hosts but the problem still exists...

I make a search and nothing in the result collums

PS: Im sharing about 400 files (98mbs)

This looks a little ominous to me. Who is your internet service provider (ISP)?

BTW did you try that link I gave you about downlding a magnet link? Please try it! (click on the link above) Although you get there with your browser, once you select a file to downld, it will link to LW & LW will attempt to downld it ... not your browser!

Also, did you do the bug test to see if there's any incoming?

When i try to click on a magnet link it gives an error.
My mac can not understand that he must open the link using limewire.

About test;
IT says, incoming thing: false
But my roommate who has windowsXP can make search and get results and download. We have the same connection form same ISP.

Are you two networked together at all?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. What firewalls you have?
2. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
3. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
4. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
5. What version of Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
6. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
7. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. As many details as possible! Is your room mate using LW at same time you're trying to search using LW?
8. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

9. LW 4.0.10 has magnet link abilities so I'm not sure why it didn't work (unless it's an out of date magnet tool. I never tried using it in OS 9 but know it has it in 4.0.8) Do you have any other p2p sharing programs on your computer?

BTW the false report in the bug report suggests there's some kind of firewall somewhere. Be it your computer, a connection device such as router/modem, or if you connect thru your mate's computer then that might be the source. It might be from outside of your room.

I live in a dorm and connected a network in the campus.
I dont know what firewalls included.
I have the latest java software.
I dont share my connection
This is my first try of LW.
Ive never downloaded anything using lw yet



My friends (We are in the same network,we all connect to the internet through this network) who have windows XP they have no problems they can search and find and dwnload things. We can not use any other p2p programmes because our ports are closed i think. But they can use LW. Bu i cant i dont know why
