Just now, I have tried to redo all the steps of port forwarding and unfortunately I still have 1 green bar. Fyi, I'm posting this thread using the port forwarding settings which means i have put in the correct Name Servers IP address and do rest of the steps precisely, or else i won't be able to browse the web rite?

I also have tried the uPnP settings but i still can't get connected. But, i haven't tried to configure the Mcfee firewall because i don't know the precise steps to do it. I've only checked the status of Limewire on the list of Mcfee internet applications, and it says "allow full access".

So, what should i do next? i'm kinda stuck here...
Thanks for the help so far!

PS:
Grandpa: if my ISP (Starhub) has started blocking or shaping p2p traffic, then why my friends with the same ISP can still use limewire with ease? aren't they supposed to get the same problem as mine?

And how can i change back my Mcfee firewall settings if it really has changed automatically?
