Ok, I can't find any port forwarding instructions for your model! The portforward.com site has instructions for the 7402g & 7402VGO. There's a wee bit of info on the Billion forum here http://www.billion.com.au/forums/lof...php/t4684.html Someone else on that forum did say they'd set up p/f for their 7402VGP using instructions at the portforward site... I'm guessing they used the VGO instructions but that's just a big guess!! Maybe you should get onto the Billion forum & ask if you can use those instructions for your model. If you can, go to www.portforward.com & you'll find the info there. Sorry I can't help more |

I am another Billion router user that is having trouble connecting to Limewire. Before installing the router I was using an ADSL modem and could connect to Limewire no problem. Since buying my Billion 7402GL router I have been unable to connect to Limewire. I get the brickwall symbol and my connection is only one green bar. I keep getting a message that says my firewall is blocking access to gnutella but I have allowed the port 6346 in my router's firewall config and allowed Limewire in my antivirus software - which is Norton Internet Secutiry. Can anybody helf? |

This is the instructions for the 7402g, it may be along the same line...You could try it and see how you go.... http://www.portforward.com/english/r...g/Limewire.htm |

tappit, if you're using XP then make sure you've turned off the XP firewall. It will conflict with Norton & cause problems. Just double check that LW's listening port is still 6346 (my port has changed by itself before). Your model isn't listed at the portforward site either. Does the router support UPnP? If it does then enable it within the router & tick within LW's options > advanced > firewall config then Apply. No guarantees but it's worth a try! |
| |||
Birdy or anyone I've just noticed that when I open "LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config??" I don't get the full options box-the apply choice is not visible so maybe the UPnP selection is not active. How do I make the box bigger? |
| ||||
For your options window there are a few hints here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...options+window It really shouldn't matter to applying after a change though... if you change something & forget to Apply you'll get a popup reminding you that you've made changes & asking if you want to save them! |
