sorry about this
ps port stable is true

Are you absolutely sure that you have no other firewall running ?

I am looking for a site that checks your port. I have used it before but forgot to bookmark. I will post link to it if I figure out what site I used

This is a link to test your port

https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 Go to bottom of page and press proceed

Test the port you have forwarded for Limewire. Then press text summary. Copy and paste what it says into a reply here.

Do the same thing with some other port (eg. 55555) And copy/paste the text summary for that too

this is my lime wire port

THANKS ALOT

That means that you have made a mistake either when configuring the Firewall or portforwarding your router. Or there is something blocking Limewire that you don't know of. Try and look at everything you have done so far to see if there is anything that you might have skipped, misread or put the wrong number in. Also download CCleaner (just use google to find it) is has much more efficient add/remove programs. If there is some other firewall then it will come up there I believe. If some programnames come up that you do not recognise then google the names to see what they are.
