Hi, yeah i have connected to limewire before, so i know its compatible with my linksys, however i did just go into the adminpanel and i did have to click on enable upnp. and i clicked save settings, now do u think this requires a pc reboot or a modem reboot for changes to take affect?


thexrock

i tried it, and it removed the firewall thing that pops up in limwire but download speeds are low or nothing at all but i have connected to limewire

yeah a balloon popped up and said found new device,but i still cant get connected, as a side note, i also went around my router with just the modem and it still doesnt wanna give me more than one bar.


thexrock

is your cable provider optimum?

nah its www.omnitelcom.com small provider in iowa, i asked them point blank whether they block limewire, they said they dont, i guess i ll have to take their word for it. dont know what else i can do?


thexrock

I don't know what the story is with Linksys but with my router I need to reboot the router after major changes. It looks like Grandpa's gone for the moment to fill us in on it.

yeah, not so sure its the router, i v tried to connect to LW w/o it and i still cant connect.


thexrock

No you do not need to reboot with LimeWire open go to tools/ options/advanced/Firewall and see what port you are connecting to. If it is something other than 6346 it is working. If it is 6346 you should probably reboot.

The port that is listening is 49174 and is UpnP is checked but i left it sitting for awhile and my modem does light up like it wants to connect but it never does.

All right you may need to port forward The link below will tell you how. Just scroll down to your router make and model.
