Re: How to update TCPIP

I have been trying to get the latest version of LimewirePro 4.4.9.11 or beta 4.9.22 to work with Golden Code and Innotek's latest javas without success. I found a site that advises upgrading to the latest update of TCPIP 8708, I'm at 8705.

I should be able to get it from my PA subscription but what do I look for how do I install it? Is PA the place to get it or is it at another place?

Back to Limewire. I tried all the tricks offered in the newsgroups to make it work but I still get this error, no matter what advice I follow:

"LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart Limewire."

I don't have a firewall, just a dialup.

WAG: Enable loopback interface in the TCPip configuration program or add 'ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1' to the setup.cmd file in \MPTN\BIN. Also add 'SET HOSTID=LOCALHOST' to config.sys. It might not hurt either to add 'SET USE_HOSTS_FIRST=1' to config.sys and have a host file in the \etc folder that has:
---
192.168.1.101 blackkinght
192.168.1.100 greendragon
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.102 fair-damsel
192.168.1.103 wizard

The 127.0.0.1 line is the important one. The others just relate local machines's names to IP. Change or leave out lines as suit your setup.

Your PA account should get you WR08708 at the usual place.

PS. You can have a firewall even on dial-up. FX Communications sells such a product in their Injoy line.
