AFAIK (I've never used proxies personally), you have to keep sifting thru proxies until you find one that works. Also keep in mind there's more than one type of proxy. eg: (i) http proxies, ___ (ii) A Successful http Proxy Solution, __ (iii) HTTP proxy blocks P2P,
(iv) SecureX http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=55461&page=5

10 Bucks!!! WOW

First you says the test doesn't work and then still try to forward the same port Blocked means blocked

Set both the listening port and the forwarded port to the same number, but choose one between 50000 and 60000. Then restart Limewire

If you are able to at least connect now we're allready making progress :wink:

The windows firewall might be a problem though. We need to figure that one out somehow

Now on to your router. First go out and buy a new one that's not a WRT54G Kidding

No seriously they are a real drag to get working with any P2P software including Limewire. Some do succed though, meaning there is some hope.

I'll post back with some links that might help a bit

edit: Found it. Either Henne197 had some serious setback making him/her unable to reply or got it working and was very rude not to say thanks Just remember that the firmwareupgrade is for WRT54G v5
If you have any other version then don't use it

For the router try typing admin into both username and password

well after changing routers and later connecting my computer directly to my isp (evertek)port 6346 remains blocked and I know that my modem isnt doing it because i used limewire on it before for a couple years...the only other explaination is that my isp (evertek) is blocking the port and not allowing me to connect with limewire...i tried the proxy thing again and.....nothing
idk if n e one can help but if u can PLEASE post back
thanks
