Can you give us some more information, please?

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?

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?

Give as much information as you can, and tell us if you don't understand anything.

Thanks

Dan

P.S. It think you speak English quite nicely!

Hi everyone! I'm technicaly challanged, mostly do to 4 brain operations on the rarest brain tumor in the U.S.
I can' figure out when I want to start doing some downloads, etc., I have to go thru all the same paces each time of re-onstalling the entire program. Should'nt I just be able to just doble click on the icon & go?

It was a compliment

Lord of the Rings is the Mac expert. He should be the one to advise you.

Who do you pay for your internet?
What version of Java do you have? You can find this by opening Limewire, click on Help (on the top), and click 'about limewire'.

Good Luck

Dan

Your ISP is Cabotvmadeirense
You are having a firewall issue. What I suggest is you configure your OSX firewall: OSX Firewall settings for Tiger (click on blue link)

Then restart LW. If you still have problems, let me know if you still see brick wall. Also try to find out the brand name & model of your connection device.

Find the Go menu on the menu bar in Finder, choose Applications. Then find LimeWire. Then double-click it & it will open for you. Now, find LW in the Dock & click on it & hold it down, you will see an option for Keep in Dock, choose it. Then next time you wish to open LW, just click on the LW icon in your Dock. For other information about downloading, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...ser-guide.html & also this one http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...load-help.html
