 Did it all...why can't I connect? So I have been on this site doing a variety of suggestions to no avail. I used to be able to connect to Limewire fine, but I think since I switched to my new router, something changed. I have the Linksys WRT54G router. On limewire startup, I have the brick firewall on there. Which had been there before, but I was able to connect fine before. I do not get any error messages, just all red in the bar graph at the bottom left. I have disabled the windows firewall, even tried disabling my norton firewall, but the brick is still there on startup. I am running Windows XP and the port forward feature does not work for me because Comcast only uses dynamic servers thereby=no static ip assignment for me. The test page also worked for me and I have exceptions in Norton for the ports to be enabled. Any help???  |

| You know you can have a static IP even though you ISP uses Dynamic, because I have one....You don't have to ask your ISP for anything...A static IP is only used in this case to port forward your router...So go ahead and follow the instructions at portforward.com....  http://www.portforward.com/english/r...G/Limewire.htm

| I get here: If you find that you can not pull up webpages, the problem is most likely the dns numbers you entered. Give your ISP a call, and they will be able to tell you which dns servers to use. This is a question they answer all of the time. They will be able to tell you what you should use right away. Once I change the numbers, no connection. |
