More Connection problems.
 

1. Dell XPS 400 with Windows XP.
2. McAffee Antivirus and Windows firewall (I have disabled both, but the little brick is still on the limewire screen)
3. Plenty
4. Plenty
5. Broadband
6. DLINK: DI-514
7. My home.
8. Limewire 4.12.11 PRO, Java 1.5.0_11
9. Local company.
10. Your test has worked!
11. We have a wireless router connecting two computers.
12. Limewire has worked for me before, but has been acting funny since I got pro.
13. Yes, see #2.

Any help is appreciated.

Your router probably has a firewall in it and needs to be set up but unfortunately you left out the model # of your router.

My bad. It's a DI-514

See if port forwarding fixes things. Use the instructions here

Don't forget to set up a static IP first, the instructions have a link for that;)

Remember...LW's listening port, port forwarded thru your router & port in the 'manual port forward' box within LW all have to be the same number:)

You could also try this, but port forwarding's likely to give you better results...
If the router supports UPnP, enable it within the router & choose the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Apply > ok.

thx
 

Thanks for the help, I'll try that. I don't know if this helps, but sometimes I randomly get a good connection and it dies on me when I start to download things.

Oi Vey. It seems nothing has worked. I do feel kinda robbed of $18.88. I'm not ready to give up yet, but i'm very tempted to switch to something else. :( I do appreciate the efforts though.

Try uninstalling McAfee allot of people are having problems with it on Vista. You can use Avast for virus protection while you test it. You can get Avast at the link below.
