![]() Your router has an internal firewall...that's probably why you're getting the message about a firewall blocking LW. That's why I asked you whether you had UPnP enabled or a port forwarded...one of these options should get rid of your firewall icon. If your router supports UPnP, enable it within the router & choose the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Then Apply > ok. Or you could try port forwarding. Check below for instructions. http://www.portforward.com/english/r...4/Limewire.htm Don't forget to set up a static IP address first (there's a link for this within those instructions). And remember...the port forwarded, LW's listening port & the number in the 'manual port forward' box have to all be the same number ![]() If you choose to do nothing (ie no UPnP or port forward), your firewall icon will probably remain & you could have trouble getting good search results. Also, chances are that very few people will be able to download from you...so you won't be sharing your files ![]() |
