Your ISP is your internet service provider...the company that you pay for internet access.

No router, any modem? Any external devices? Are you connecting from an apartment complex?

I pay a company called TKS

No router, any modem? Any external devices? Are you connecting from an apartment complex?

Yes I have a modem and yes I am in an apt.

TKS is a cable service located in Germany. If thats not the answer that you're looking for then how do I find out what is my ISP exactly. Also I have tried that website to see if the 6346 port is closed or open for my computer and it said "stealth." What is that? Okay so what do i o again to get LW to work?

What's the brand & model of your modem?

Yeah I found TKS info, so far it doesn't look like they have an anti-p2p policy.

hey birdie i just went to the portfowarding website and found the info for motorola sb900. now what do i do? should i click on easy file sharing web server?

or do i click on limewire?

my limewire isn't connecting.
and i see that limewire has detected a firewall, so i tried my best to do what people have said to do to fix this problem.
like with the listening port numbers and stuff.
but i really dont know what i'm doing, and nothing's changed yet.

the_hashimo,
Read the sticky below & make sure that you're only using 1 software firewall which is configured properly. If you're connecting through a modem/router, they usually have their own internal firewall...see the info about enabling UPnP & port forwarding.
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're stuck, please give us your details. Post #2 of the sticky shows the info that we need.

1.my test worked
2.Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access? i dont understand how to do it. like i dont know how to open network connections.
