![]() Your router has a NAT firewall. This might be what LW is recognising. You might have to port forward. It's no drama, just takes a little time ![]() First though, I'd give your ISP a call & just see that they haven't started blocking p2p. It seems strange that this happened out of the blue! Do this first, so that you don't go through the whole p/f thing for nothing! Here's the p/f info anyway, just in case you need it Step 1. Set up a static IP address http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm Step 2. Port forward http://www.portforward.com/english/r...4/Limewire.htm Step 3. In LW, tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick 'manual port forward', add the listening port number to the box here. Apply. |
