![]() Did you make sure that the Norton firewall was configured properly (& that XP's f/w was disabled)? You could try using the UPnP option for your router but I'm not sure how reliable it's going to be in UPnP mode. Some people have had issues & needed to update the firmware...there's quite a lot of info & links about this in the original connection problems sticky Connection problems? Check here first! If you do decide to try, make sure that UPnP is enabled within the router & then choose the 'Use UPnP' option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config (it might be easier to just use port forwarding though). To set up port forwarding, click on the link below for instructions. Remember to set up a static IP address first, or the port forwarding won't work. http://www.portforward.com/english/r...S/Limewire.htm You might want to update your Java too, the latest JRE is update 9. Use the offline installer here & remove your old Java version before installing the new one. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp *Not to put you off or anything, but some people have had problems with Shaw throttling bandwidth for p2p. Check out the post below & if you use the forum search to look for Shaw, you'll find more info:wink: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...6&postcount=14 |
