I've done it once before, both forwarding and static ip. I am to the point that I am really afraid i'll do something to totaly screw pc up..... is that a potential problem if its not done correctly. It did not work at all the last time i did that, which was yesterday..... I'm pretty sure I did all that is described in the instructions you point to.

I have come to believe that it is my provider, Windstream, that is blocking Limewire. I tested downloading Kazaa, and Blub something and the samething is happening. I believe it is the bandwitdth control issue with the isp provider. I may have to keep trying p2p until I find one that is not blocked. Yesterday, I downloaded 1 song from walmart downloads and I was able to, no problem.......what do you think?
