Cannot connect to Limewire
 

Hello,
I've been trying to connect to Limewire. It was working fine before but we upgraded our computer to Vista and our ISP reset us up on our internet on Vista. Now when I use Limewire, it never connects and I have trouble with any other P2P. Any suggestions?

A bit more info needed: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) :)

1. OS version? Windows Vista
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall
3. How much ram? Plenty
4. Hard Disk space available? Plenty
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? D-Link
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. The latest, just downloaded.
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Host Idaho, which I believe comes from Qwest.
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? Doesn't load
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes, we have threee computers with the first one being the mother of them all and we feed off it.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've used it plenty times before.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. Avast! and Windows default programs.

Any help?

Hi all, I am new on here. Have used Limewire for a number of years. Recently upgraded to a new computer with Vista. I don't have McAfee, but do have Nortons. When I click on the Limewire icon on my desktop, I get a message "LimeWire was unable to load the Java Runtime Environment. Please download and install a newer version from http://www.java.com" I tried that but still having the same problems. My computer crashed and is now giving me numerous 'warnings'. Any suggestions?
