Connection challenge using a wireless modem
 

Hi

downloaded Limewire 4.4.4

I'm running win XP with a Norton firewall, connecting via a wireless modem.

hae checked the firewall and this is set as sugested in other threads, windows firewall is disabled.

but cannot connect ...

Cannot see what else to do.

All suggestions welcome

thanks

what is the make and model of your wireless modem?

Sounds like it may have an internal firewall and you might need to configure it. You can search (upper right) for port forwarding.

Hi

Have a BT Voyager 2000.

There is a firewall mentioned in the menu.

Could be the anwer.

thanks

Here is instructions for the BT Voyager 2100 which is not the identical model so you'll have to see yourself whether it fits or not. 1st you must set up a static ip for this to work. Then you can forward a port (ie: open port 6346 for LW to have full access.): http://www.portforward.com/btvoyager/2100.htm

I'm not sure whether your modem uses UPnP so if you still have connection problems after that I'd suggest you try manual Force ip within LW: Force IP instructions & sample image (& also 2 post after that!) Of course use Port 6346 for all port forwarding & force ip.

Many thanks all :D

This should do the Job !
