Limewire

[GiggleGirl]

hello fellow andandtechians

my boyfriend recently reinstalled windows on my laptop so i had to re-download all of my executable programs- limewire being one of them.

anywho, i open it and it no longer connects to the network... i am unsure as to why it is not doing this. before, it would connect immediately.

soooo, why is this happening and how can i fix it?

thank you all 🙂

Limewire is crap, haven't used it in years. Anything you want off it can be found by torrent or by filehosting sites like rapidshare.

WTF. You honestly think that a topic about problems with software should go in Off Topic in a tech forum? Especially when there is a forum called "Software for Windows"?

I use Frostwire (www.frostwire.com) and whenever I can't connect to the network I just delete the gnutella.net file and just d/l a fresh copy of it (look around the frostwire forums to find it). Then I'm able to connect.
I don't know if it's the same with Limewire.

Is this you?

Well, do you have any sort of firewall preventing it from gaining access the net?

I don't have or use Limewire so I don't know what options it has...

 

[seemingly random]

A port might need to be opened up or reconfigured on the router.

I'd get the boyfriend look at it.

Is Frostwire the best? BT is wonderful, but it doesn't have the selection that something like Napster used to have.
