Limewire can't connect

[SenSeiFAR]

As the title says so, my Limewire doesn't connect. =\\.

It used to before, but I didn't use it for a few days, and now it doesn't connect.

So, I downloaded the new one from ISOhunt. Same problem, uTorrent works fine, so I don't THINK it's a port issue, though it could be. It keeps saying, "Firewall detected", but I have no antivirus installed, nor is my Windows Firewall enabled. =\\.

well most likely it is a port issue.

correct me if i am wrong, but afaik, torrent client softwares and p2ps like limewire use several ports. You may have turned your firewall off but there always can be a router firewall from the isp's side. you can either call your ISP up and talk through this or you can enable encryption ( from the settings ) in limewire.

This is indeed a port issue! It is actually there in the Limewire FAQ. It is caused by the error 2662. Goolge Limewire 2662, you might "find" something. Your fastest bet is to faromat. This happens after a while.

This happens due to our ISPs not closing the connection to the Gnutella Network (P2PN used by Limewire) properly, hence the 2662 Error Protocal when closing. As far as I remember, there was this event Log you could find somehow. Under properties > Advanced or something can't remember now, but I remember a 2662 notification every time the event logger logged Limewire to have closed.

Enable Encryption won't do anything. mot your ISP's fault, nor is it the ports. Re-install windows, kill all temps, set up a new dialer, network structure (by formatting PC) and voila! Connection in under 30 seconds. sup!

Reformatting Windows is NOT an option. =|. Coz, I don't have most of the installer of the games, and stuff. =\\.



WAIT! I fixed it. =D. I got the port from uTorrent and used it. xD
