Hi and Thanks for the encouragement.
I have finally managed to find time to try again and have reset things using the port number 64049 but still cannot get connected.
I attach screen shots showing my Limewire settings, my Router settings, my Java version and my TCP/IP settings.
The one thing I am not sure of is the setting for Server IP Address in my Router settings. Have I got this wrong??
BTW, in case it is a Firewall issue I tried with XP Firewall turned off, and still no luck. What port should be named in XP Firewall for the Exception? 64049 or something different?
If there is anything else you can see, I'd appreciate a word. Thanks!
Roger
