![]() Every so often when I connect to Limewire, I get this message saying that i have no active internet connection or my firewire is blocking something. I am using Limewire through a router (Netgear RP614) and I keep getting kicked off the internet when using Limewire. I have to keep unplugging the router and replugging it back in. I've went a day without using Limewire thinking it was something else and I narrowed it down to Limewire. Is my problem with the router? Is there a firewall that is blocking my connection with Limewire and the internet connection? Please help. Thank you. Last edited by St3vo28; April 3rd, 2005 at 03:52 PM. |

![]() Sorry if I repeat any things you've already answered but! Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. 9. Who is your isp provider? 10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Did you configure yor firewalls for LW use: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say ‘Test Page was a Success’. What happens when you go there? Is it True/False? Try Fixes for Limewire |
