i have a 2800 xp athlon chip on an asrock board w/512 ram and a
gf6200 128 videocard ???? what gives ????// thanks 4 the help :dance:

Recently there's been a problem with people not providing enough details about their setup - despite being asked again & again.

So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:


1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much 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 (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, 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.
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
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?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

thanks for the help .... im not a pro but i have been having this prob when i switch from dsl to cable ... i think my speeds are capped when i use torrents .... mini novas torrents dived when i made the switch ... and as a first time user 4 utorrent it worked fine for a day then those speeds dropped .... LW is provideing the speeds im looking 4 and ...it just slows my pc and cripples my video ,,,, it crashed last night ,, something about loseing a connection ,, and the pc was frozen ... i rebooted went to work and it was fine 8hrs later ,,,, but at times it makes my surfing on the web slugish ????
thanks alex peace

It sounds like possably a corrupt java download, &/or L/W Prefs folder prob
First! close L/W completly, then Go, START/My Computer/local disc C:/ Documents & settings/Your User Name/Application Data/ Now Delete the LimeWire Folder.
Now! Go to, START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs, now completely remove all versions of java.
Now! Use this Link to get (jre1.5.0 09) Use the off line installer NOT the (recormended) one, http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp[/URL]

Ps. Give your ISP a ring, ask if there shaping your connection to rule this in or out.
Check Your H.D dosent need defragmenting.
Do this and get back to us.
Peace.
