Thanks for the tips leeware. very informative...

I obviously want to play fair and share well, so I need to know how to force my firewire IP address.

I have just dowloaded limewire pro and have set up as suggested in your thread. However I need to know the procedure for forcing my Firewall IP (obtained from whatismyIP.com/as suggested). Is this done within limewire (i have checked the option to force ip-but see no place for IP entry)or is this a command line thing???

With regard to my download speed,even after carrying out your suggestions and updating to Limewire Pro I am still getting very dissapointing results (average of 5KB - from a 600Kbps (i.e 70KBps service)) as stated in my entry under:

Perhaps my internet access is not configured correctly, as a 5KB download speed from a fast soure (cable/DSL) or above is not right, surely??
Is there a command that enables you to view the total maximum available bandwidth currently available to you???

Any other tips, would be of great help.
