However, Limewire recently wouldn't connect (all those patches from MS this month?). I checked all the settings, router, uninstalled java and Limewire and reinstalled both without success. Finally, I used the fix from "baysmi" above and downloaded the patch from 'pieceofcake." It worked perfectly. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20084004 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 12:56:33 EDT Re: Limewire will NOT connect, no matter what I do. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20051714 anon : Should work for Limewire.

I have a 2Wire Router. Found a fix online. Did not have to forward a port or change any Frostwire settings. Go to this site »www.mybloop.com/FTA/fixconnecting.zip. Download and install than restart Frostwire. Worked for me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20051714 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:34:48 EDT Re: Limewire will NOT connect, no matter what I do. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20051706 anon : I have a 2Wire Router.

1) reset back your firewall to original, meaning make not exception and out the "check mark" back next you limewire box in the advanced section of your firewall setting

2) completely remove Java and Limewire from using the 'add/remove program' feature in the control panel

3) reinstall limewire from limewire's original website, this will automatically install the Java as well

4) once limewire is installed, open the program

5) click on Tools

6) click on options

7) Scroll all the way down and click on "advanced"

8) Click on "firewall Config"

9) Select the "Do Nothing" option over "UpnP" and click on apply and ok,

10) you will get strong connection all of sudden and the Limewire will configure itself

11) close Limewire, and reopen it

12) Go back to tools, options, advanced, firewall config

13) Switch back to "UpnP " option and apply

Voila..problem Solved

Pashune, WinMX doesn't have to be complicated - stay with the patched 3.54 version and it's just the normal one click install. The various patches are available at »www.mumer.com/mx/Patches/. I would recommend the the first option listed: the 1.3 meg setup.

Go here and get Winmx 3.53 and the piepatch auto installer: »www.mxpie.com/downloads.html Install Winmx, then the piepatch and it should connect.

I have other modems sitting around, but I really don't prefer Westell 6100s at all (For technical reasons; they sync lower..)

If you connect then you should disconnect and find the conflict.

The one time I really want to use Limewire, and it doesn't connect. What gives here? What did I do wrong?

Here are some of the things I have tried, as well as some details...

-UPnP is ALREADY enabled on my router
-Windows Firewall was disabled by myself, personally, a long time ago..
-I have no software based firewall..
-To eliminate router issues, my sisters 400 mhz celeron PC connects with limewire just FINE.

=/ So what's the problem here? I even tried using an "alternate" client known as FrostWire, but it does the SAME THING.

Ugh.

...and I apologize if this was posted in the wrong forum, but I really didn't know whether to post it in the p2p forum or the networking forum...
