ok, I AM NOT A NOOB WHEN IT COMES TO NETWORKING, can u please read the posts a bit better instead of giving me links to tell me something i did a month ago

I am after someone to help me. I have now disconnected my network, and connected to the internet through the origonal modem, which has no firewall. I have forwarded the posts for Limewire on Windows Firewall, and also disconnected it, but am still having trouble connecting to limewire. I noticed that even tho i have no firewalls, the firewall icon is still on the bottom of limewire. Any help?

maybe not a n00b, but certainly a whiner...

again, widely known ports, and easily blockable...so what if somebody you 'know' is on the same ISP...is he down the block, or in a different city?....different managers, and different nodes on the same ISP...

The_Point being that maybe ports are being blocked, maybe they are being throttled, and maybe not...I just had this problem with BitTorrent...I manually forced the ports to a totally different range, and BINGO, I was connectable...since yur not a n00b, I'm sure you can figure out how to try it yourself...
