Connection Problems...surprise surprise Issue: I just payed for Pro and now it wo'nt connect. I get the error: "LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking Limewire's access to the internet of loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire to access to the internet and restart Limewire" I went into the firewall settings and allowed limewire to go through but still get the error. Any help? 1. OS version? Windows Vista Ultimate 2. What firewalls you have? Only Vista 3. How much ram? 3gb 4. Hard Disk space available? 121GB 5. Connection type? Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7.

Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version.... Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 Also can you tell me what your modem/router is ?? It's what connects your computer to the internet and if you turn it upside down it should tell you the make and model number...

AVG now comes with a firewall, are you sure you don't have AVG firewall as well. Only one firewall should be active. Also see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...-not-load.html |
