 Thanks very much, Birdy! Your 4.8.1 won't have the firewall status showing, that's a feature of later versions Thank you for educating me on that, Birdy.  What you can do is go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'recieved incoming this session'...if it's false there's probably a firewall problem somewhere. I pressed the VIEW EXAMPLE button, scrolled down to "Received incoming this session:" and indeed saw false there. Did you set up a static IP first? You'll have to, if you haven't already. The portforward.com instructions have a link for that. I went through this again VERY SLOWLY and, despite everything matching my notes from the last time I did this, set it up a second time. Also...check that LW's listening port, the port forwarded thru your router & the port in the 'manual port forward' box are all the same number. All three match one another. You should probably also check your XP firewall config, just in case. I went through this again also. In addition, I exited LW (including the system tray), deleted the exception for LimeWire from the Windows Firewall and then restarted LW to add the exception once again. I just fired up my 4.8.1 & it took a loooooonng time to connect (5 mins at least). Great post script! I think I understood the subtle message here, but I promise you that I'm not one of those hyper-impatient type folks. I've started LW repeatedly and let it try to connect for hours -- WITH NO LUCK.  Considering your thoughts about that 'FALSE' indicating a firewall issue, should I proceed from that angle? Thanks for your consideration (and your time) once again ...  |
