Unfortunately that 6346 test page has been down for a couple of weeks & might not be put up again. Thank you for supplying all your details. Very refreshing!

I am not sure whether Di-Link understands UPnP technology. For that reason I manually forward a port on my D-Link 504G. Perhaps you should try the same thing. But if you intend to run LW on both computers then you'll need to forward a different port no. for each one separately. Oh ... I take that back. If you use them with separate isp providers & they're not running thru same router then you can use the same port no.

The steps are 1. set up a Static ip 1st ... very important for this to work!!! 2. Forward a port on your di-links (804 will probably be same as 504 to set up.) 3. Set up LW for this.

1. & 2. See bottom left of following page link for Di-Link & find your model: http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm & there will be a link on how to set up your static ip also. Forward port 6346
3. Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.

4. Configure your firewalls to allow LW full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml (By the way, you don't need 2 active firewalls & some brands strongly recommend against it b/c they can interfere with each other. So choose on or the other.
