So I can't even find out whether it has a firewall (most routers do) or supports UPnP. Does your manual tell you anything about that??
Which version of Java are you using (in LW Help > About LW will show you)?
Try removing any rules for LW from within Vista's firewall. Then restart your computer & add new rules.
Go to LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall. Change LW's listening port from 6500 to 65000 > apply > ok.
Do you just have the 'manual port forwarding' ticked within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall or do you actually have a port forwarded within your router's setup (by logging into your router & changing settings)?
Did you have any problems finding the preferences folder? After you deleted the prefs folder, did you go through LW's setup wizard all over again?
Go & find your gnutella.net file. Hover your cursor over the file - how big is it? |
Birdy, I have windows vista dell xps 210 with actiontec MI424WR router and I am having the same issue as this individual. I have disabled windows firewall, and I have gone into the router and tried to setup port forwarding but I am having issues getting it to work. Can you please help me out, I am unsure what to put in for local domain name, I see the name of another computer on my network, but it does nothing if I select it, and I really don't know how to set up the port forwarding, is there a specific port I should use for this, I just need help filling in these blanks on the port forwarding screen!! lol oh ya, and I am using Comcast internet if that matters at all. My router is saying that both my computers on the network are connected, which they are, but LW doesnt think so:P please help!
