Firewall
 

Anybody out there who can help me out here.I can download,can play but nobody can access my comp , nobody can download nethin frm my comp coz my limewire is behind a firewall.There is a wall on the globe. I ve tried loads of stuff to remove the wall i changed the connection limit to 100 changed the internet settings but still not thru this prob.So if anybody knows the soln to this, plz reply.

You need to read the sticky about connection problems. The first part "... check here first" has lots of info & advice about how to set up. Make sure your firewall's configured properly & don't run 2 firewalls at once.

Many firewall probs are due to internal firewalls within modems/routers. Read all the info about this & find out if your device has an internal firewall. Same for UPnP... find out if your router supports it & make sure it's enabled within the device & ticked within LW's firewall config.

i have the SAME PROBLEM!
i cant direct connect becuz a fire wall on the globe
i look at the sticky and everything is right but i t wont work!
help!!!!
oh and everthing else is fine.. i just cant direct connect!

You won't be able to direct connect if you're firewalled!
You said you looked at the sticky & everything is right... something is not right if you're firewalled;)

You need to go back & make sure you're only running 1 firewall and that it's configured properly. Did you look at UPnP? Does your router support it? Did you find out if there's a NAT firewall? If there is, you may have to port forward.

yeah i have a linksys and udup is supported

Well did you enable it within the router? Did you also select UPnP within LW (tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick use UPnP & apply)?

yes i have..

i went to the site in the sticky to enable my router but it still wont work

I'm in the same boat man I don't have a router just connected straight to the modem and I have both Windows firewall and Norton firewall completely disabled and I still have a wall infront of the globe with no connection.

I'm stumped help would be great.

You could try going to the Linskys tech support site

They should be able to help you with enabling the UPnP:)
