Hi Dana

OSX has the firewall turned on by default, but is easily opened for gnutella.

See Apple Menu->System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall->New->Gnutella/Limewire (6346).

If that doesn't improve your uploads, give your ISP a call and ask if they block or throttle uploads to filesharing networks.

If they do (grrr), ask if they'll allow clear communications using a different port number, like 23456.

btw--LW is up to 3.8.6, and you can see what IP LW is using by looking at the LW preferences->Sample Bug Report
