attempted LW connection = frozen computer
 

I am currently using Mac OS 10.3.5 and Limewire 4.8.1. My computer freezes when Limewire starts to try to connect. It's not my ISP because i have another computer using the same ISP that Limewire works fine on. Ive done what the limewire website has said about firewalls and that didn't help either. any help would be great.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. Do you try to run LW on both comp's at same time?
2. What firewalls you have?
3. ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type & speed? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. Are the 2 comp's connected via router or network card.

1. no
2. whatever firewalls are already on their when you buy the computer. i activated the firewalls like it said to on the Limewire website.
3. 128 MB SDRAM
4. 5.55 GB available
5. DSL, not sure speed, cheapest one though
6. where do i find modem brand name? router brand is Netgear. router model number is WGR614 v4 i think.
7. Home
8. my computer is connected to a router (which is connected to my parents computer) via wireless adapter.

What you could try is to forward a port thru your Netgear. The steps are as follows:
1. Set up a static ip (very important to do correctly otherwise port forwarding won't work.)
2. Forward port 6346
3. Manual Port Forwarding within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.
