Do manual port forwarding but choose a port between 49152 - 65535 such as port 64049 for connection rather than 6346 as suggested here http://www.portforward.com/english/r...624v3index.htm

Yes Netgear will understand UPnP but if the ports it tries to connect thru are blocked ... then ...

ok I did all that, and still it wont connect. this time I got a box that said my computer did not have a internet connection or else there is a firewall blocking it..so I went and checked my mcafee firewall and it still says limewire has full access, and my windows xp firewall still says disabled.
it is hopeless...
