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.

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.

ok i added port range forward, i assume the last number should be a 1 right? because when i go back in it, it shows 100.
I assume i keep the same listening port at 49174 correct and router config stays at the recommended UpnP?

It should be 100 or whatever your static IP is
