Enable UPnP within your router. Then use the UPnP option on that same LW page where you changed listening ports. Apply > ok.
If that doesn't change anything, try port forwarding for your Westell. Here are the instructions. http://www.portforward.com/english/r...W/Limewire.htm
Remember that LW's listening port, port within the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within a router must all be the same number. |
Did this just start after you upgraded your version of LW? When I upgrade mine I have to make a new exception for LW and when I update java I need to allow it also.
You could try turning your firewall off just long enough to start LW and see if it connects. Then turn your firewall back on. That would help rule in/out your firewall. I don't use the xp firewall so I'm not sure about it, but if your not confident about your router settings I can post some screen shots of how I have mine.
If that fails, try the fixes in this thread:
