OK, thanks for the info. I followed the instructions. My Computer already has a static IP address of 192.168.2.5. I choose a port # 59998. On my modem set-up, I did as it said, Service Type: TCP/UDP; Starting Port: 59998; Ending Port 59998; Server IP address: (it came up with 192.168.2.__; I input a 5 into the last place. I then re-started the computer, modem and router. then I restarted LW, and still the same thing. 1 small bar of connection, and nothing else. I also then tried http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ and still nothing.
