| Limewire will NOT connect, no matter what I do. I really don't know what's going on here, but I am rather pissed off about it. 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...

Midland, ON | May sound like a simple thing but do you have the right ports open on the router? | |

| Re: Limewire will NOT connect, no matter what I do. True, but... I just think it's odd that I have to open certain ports on the router if my sister's PC can connect to limewire just fine (and it's on the same router)

| Re: Limewire will NOT connect, no matter what I do. Well...the problem with that, is that my Netopia 3347-02 is a full featured ADSL2+ router itself (802.11g + 4-port switch)
I have other modems sitting around, but I really don't prefer Westell 6100s at all (For technical reasons; they sync lower..)

| don't know if this is the problem or not but could it be your DNS servers. I recently discovered that using OpenDNS I could not connect to WinMX, as soon as I switched over to Charter's automatically assigned numbers, my connection sailed right thru. | |

| Re: Limewire will NOT connect, no matter what I do. 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. | |

| If you have already fooled around too much with your lime wire and Java and firewall i recommend the following:
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

| I have used Limewire with XP for several years and now with Vista for a year without problems. 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.  | |
