Bearsy80 Hi.

6 ethernet/usb adsl modem router, What brand & model No's ?

8 What version of java ?
(Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...)Will show both LW & Java version.

Try switching to Manual Port forward using port numbers between 45000 To 65000
Both Manual Port forward No, & listening port should be set at the same number
In LimeWire, GO to Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall Config & use Manual Port forward.
