Make sure LW's allowed thru the XP firewall, check the link below for instructions. Firewall setup
Your router has a firewall. Enable UPnP within the router & then use the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config.
See if the brick wall goes away. If not, try port forwarding.
Here are the instructions for your router. Don't forget to set up a static IP address first! http://www.portforward.com/english/r...4/Limewire.htm
Remember that LW's listening port, port in LW's 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router all have to be the same number  |
what happens? it tells me for every single download "Not enough sources" or "Need more sources." I try to refresh it and it still tells me for a short while "Connecting" and then it doesn't.
The use Upnp option was set as you had instructed, but I don't know what to do from there. However, the Windows Firewall did not have LW as an exception. I did correct that, but it did not fix my problem.
I can find tons of media files I want to DL but when I go to DL them, somehow, it is not allowing me to connect.
I guess the reason I am so confused about this is because my other computer(s) never had any problem with this stuff. I had the same platforms, same router, same connection type, same modem, all from the same location.
Please try again to help me because I cant figure out how to do this "fowarding" junk in the advanced Firewall settings of LW.
Thanks
