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.

I already setup port forwarding but my limewire still starting couldn't fully connected.I also stop my windows firewall. Any idea ?

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.

Yes my computer is using static ip. i have entered the port number which available in the limewire into the router virtual server to be incoming and outgoing and route to my computer.
