 @ rexdinosdad, I also have a Westell Versalink 327W and Verizon. I have mine portforwarded and it works great. Follow the link in birdy's post. I tried using UPnP but couldn't get it to work. Be sure to set up a static ip before you portforward LW or it won't work. http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm If you run into trouble, post back and maybe I can help. Edit: Recheck your firewall settings. I was able to use LW after I had allowed access for it through my firewall without portforwarding. I only portforwarded so others could upload from me.

| Did you try birdy's suggestions: Quote:
You could try turning your firewall off just long enough to start LW and see if it connects. Then turn your firewall back on. That would help rule in/out your firewall. I don't use the xp firewall so I'm not sure about it, but if your not confident about your router settings I can post some screen shots of how I have mine. If that fails, try the fixes in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!
