| Yeah, it's strange about Rogers... I would've thought you'd have connection probs & not be able to download it. Hope I didn't jinx it for you ![]() If you go to this web page, you'll see what I mean about different router versions. There's no port forwarding for a plain old BEFSR41 (scroll down thru the Linksys models). But when I looked up the plain ol' version with Google, it says there's a NAT firewall... so port forwarding must be an option. Hope I'm not confusing you too much... do you get what I mean? I just don't want to point you towards one of those other versions in case the info's wrong for you. You could have a look through the PortForward page anyway & see what you thinkhttp://www.portforward.com/english/r...outerindex.htm Edit - stuck in a time loop & beaten by Grandpa!!! |

| Thanks birdy. I'm on the port forwarding info page. I'll see if I can figure out a fix. It may take me a while because it says "In order to forward properly you really need to understand what port forwarding is. This might seem like an irrelevant step, but it is not." Yes, I'm begining to see that I don't see... |

| To port forward for the v3 (it's not hard, just a bit time consuming!) Step 1. Set up a static IP address. Don't skip this step. http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-98.htm Step 2. Port forward http://www.portforward.com/english/r...5/Limewire.htm Step 3. Within LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick 'manual port forward', making sure you add the listening port number. Apply. |

| Yes there is lots of reading but the instructions are very detailed and easy to follow. My promblem was that I could not get my DNS from the prompt. It returned a DHCP server number instead. I tried this number in the setup but it didn't work. (lost connectivity) I guess I'll have to call my ISP tomorrow and find out what it is. I think this will work for my LW problem. If not - I sure learned alot of stuff I didn't know! I'll let you know if I get it fixed. Bye for now! |
