I've set port forfareding for port 6346 on the router. It worked one time and then stopped working. NOw all I get is "Limewire is not able to connect" when I try to search.

Any suggestions?

And I go to the url http://www3.limewire.com:6346 and I get "Your test worked! "

I am connecting after uninstalling and downloading and getting a "unable to connect to limewire" in the middle of a download.

Actually most of the Linksys modems/routers use UPnP (except for the older models.)

The most important step in forwarding a port is the 1st step; setting up a static ip. It sounds like you did it incorrectly which is why it only worked temporarily until your ip address changed. I'd suggest you cancel your forwarding & redo it.
