:) Hello Birdy or Lord of the Rings,,,I am a new member in your forum and decided to just ask my question in here. I am having a lot of problems connecting. I read all the necessary info to fix it and I followed the instructions to add Gnutella and the port # and all. Still no go. One thing I noticed tho when I added the IP address (127.0.0.1) and say ok, when I go back in it changes to defiant-desktop. I don't know why it goes back to that. :o(

I have windows XP and use IE (version 6) for my internet. I'm all up to date on everything and I so wish I can connect to LimeWire. I also updated the newest version. When I had an older version, I was able to connect but not now. It's so frustrating and I can't read every post in here as I find it very confusing. Some of the terminology is way beyond me. LOL

Would you pls be able to help me? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Lil'Emu *S*

It might be related to your connection device which probably has a NAT firewall. See Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

Disable XP firewall (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...620#post178620 OR this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...842#post178842 )

Configure your Norton firewall as thus: Configuring Norton Internet Security

The default firmware for Linksys (and all replacement firmwares except for one) have a severe problem where they track old connections for FIVE days, which causes the router to hang when using P2P apps, or any software that generates a lot of connections. DHT only aggravates the situation because of the number of connections it generates.

Linksys has yet to address this issue, but there is a fix. If you use alternative firmware, you can put in a start-up script to fix this problem.

Goto http://www.polarcloud.com/tofu/ and download the latest firmware for your Linksys WRT54G/GL or WRTSL54GS router.

Go to the web interface (default password is admin) by typing http://192.168.1.1 into your browser.
Click Administration, then Edit Startup. Put the following commands in the box:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses
echo "600 1800 120 60 120 120 10 60 30 120" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeouts

Click Save, close the window, then click Save settings.
Reboot the router (the Administration page has a Reboot button) and you'll be done.
