anarchyskater88 it sounds like a hardware issue or an isp issue. If port 6346 is closed then it's no wonder you can't connect. The fact it's just happened past few days suggests something's been changed either on your system, hardware or isp. Yes some isp's will block ports if they're trying to curb p2p use. Most Linksys routers use UPnP so 'should' be safe there but could be your other hardware ... perhaps port forwarding required not sure.

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire This is a simple fix though might not fix your problem. If not, go back to the port test site & test some other ports you might be able to use; eg: port 6405, or 5303, or 3530 or even 80. Once an open port is found then go Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change listening port to that new port no. May need to re-open LW for it to take effect.

japes we're still looking at your issue. Did you see et's response to your other post.
