Halp

I just DL'd limewire on my work comp.. but it doesn't want to connect.

Any secret button I need to press to make my shit work?

 

I'm no help... mine hasn't connected in months and I have given up on it

I will wait for suggestions though

 

im assuming you mean "limewire". You might need to forward the port on your router if its not connecting. Are you connected to a router? If so, does limewire work if you plug internet directly into your computer?

 

side note....-reg will be issued if you create a post in a weeks time about how to clean all the virus's off your computer

 

try frostwire

http://www.frostwire.com/

 

This is a work laptop

I'm going to DL a bunch of tunes (hopefully) then delete it.


And for my connection, there is a blue cord coming in the wall of my trailor. That is how I am connected. haha

 

sounds like your work might be blocking you from using.

 

Whats that?

 

I doubt that would be the case

 

blue wire coming into your trailer doesn't likely lead to a router...so sounds like a direct connection. if it doesn't work from a direct connection, the port is likely blocked by your work/ISP. You could try setting a different port...see if that works.

 

like limewire less virusy and more reliable

 

I am like 65kms from pavement/4 hours from my office. I don't think work could be doing it.

Plus the computer had itunes/porn on it when I opened it

 

I have the same problem from my home computer with a direct connection... when I DL'd a newer version it hasn't connected since. Loads and starts fine but it stays "connecting" for hours.

 

will check this out when I get home

 

the blue wire needs to be connected to something on the other end that gets you to the internet...where does it run outside of the trailer?

 

limewire pro FTW

 

Okay, clearly I'm an idiot somehow. Frostwire won't connect either.

Fuck it.

 

Its apparently a firewall issue.

 

Torrents work better than P2P anyway. you should use a program like BitTorrent, and download torrents...alot less risk of viruses...and i find alot better quality downloads, over P2P downloads.

 

last I checked torrents we're P2P

 

Yeah, your right....it's just a differnt type of P2P sharing.

 

I don't get it.
