Trust me - I usually know what I am doing, but maybe I am too close to the issue:

Both computers have hispeed and Limewire Pro, latest Rev.
Both computers can download from the network
Both computers indicate no firewall, turbocharged connection
Both computers can connect to each other and browse each others files
Both computers indicate the IP address for a direct connect, hence there is no firewall problem

I have 3 computers with static IP on my LAN and accessed them vice-versa via Limewire direct connect via the internet Everytime any download started immediately and with >100KB/s speed.

I ensured enough upload slots too and bandwith is a non issue for me.

WHY for GOD's sakes can my friend in Sweden not download from me. All she is getting is a message either " more sources needed or host busy"

Any solution to this riddle will be rewarded with direct access to my massive movie database.

Thanks - Michel
