turn off windows firewall.

 

still wont work i turned it off allowed it through the exceptions...

 

did it come preloaded with any security software like McAfee or Norton?

 

Step 1: Format PC
Step 2: Install XP
Step 3: Never have problems again.

 

Perfect!
Get rid of the pre-installed crap that they loaded into your new P.C and start over fresh with what you want..........

 

well the nerds at future shop did it all i dont have mcaffe? It came with windows live onecare ****, i dont think i have the vista cd anyways, ****** nerds

 

do you have a router?

 

yup when i bought bell internet it came with one the ethernet cord goes into computer and to router and one from the router to the phone line and the power.

 

limewire should auto config the router assumeing the router is somewhat new. Did you try totally restarting the computer after you installed limewire?

 

wait, you use dial up! ahahahaha!!!

 

Its probably DSL dumbfuck.

 

its not dial up tard...dial up and my line would be busy, its obv dsl if it has a enthernet cord...wow i think il try restarting my comp

 

wipe it install your on OS.

2 NEVER INSTALL LIMEWIRE
use IIRC or a Torrent

 

lol ive never had problems with it before windows vista is **** i dont like it think xp is better but i restarted took off firewall still wont work and there is no other good programs out there except ares...but thats **** to

 

Corrected for accuracy.

Better yet, return it and get yourself a Mac.

 

ps: thats not router youve got there, thats dsl modem

 

unless his house is serviced with fiber (as my old house was).

 

Isn't windows a router? I mean, why not, if my old linux box managed to run gated and handle the entire BGP4 routing table, surely Vista can do it. LMAO.

Can as in has the ability to do it yes probably, but can as in allows people options other than allow dissallow, i doubt it. I would confirm your ISP is working on normal browsing and then go from there. Did you have the DSL working before? Are the DSL and activity lights on the modem blinking? Give us more info. I don't like vista my self but have had no problem running limewire on it with DSL and a wireless network no less. This has to be something simple.
