Ok. I downloaded the patch for increasing the # of ports to 50 from ten. I turned on upnp in my network connections settings. and i configured the xp firewall to limewire per the sticky.
I just did a port test and the port that limewire listens on is open now. And the little brick wall icon is gone now.
I still am not connecting yet. It has been about 30 minutes. and it quit trying to connect. What next?
I still cant find out if my dsl modem is upnp though.
I really appreciate your help. |
