Default Connecting problem

I'm using Limewire pro 4.6.0 and using it inside a local area network where we are using a router but my connection is always starting after i press connect. But if i use direct from a modem it will be connected. Pls advise what's wrong. Thanks

What is the brand and model number of your router. It probably has a NAT firewall in it.

I didn't block any port that limewire using. It can connect but not fully . It can connect previosuly. I;m using dlink 604 router. But NAT definitely can used with limewire as limwire not using random port ?

You might want to set up port forward on your Dlink. The link below will take you to instructions for setting your router up for LimeWire.

Your routers firewall is blocking you try re configuring port forward follow the instructions exactly as they are in the link I gave you. Did you set up a static IP address or did you skip that step.
