jesse14 please tell us your router brand & model. This might be the issue. Most high speed routers have internal firewalls called NAT. It's a type of firewall. Those (most) routers/modems that have UPnP should be ok.

echo2347 turn your XP firewall off (go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box)

Then configure your Norton firewall using this: *Configuring Norton Internet Security

Your Linksys router should have a UPnP switch. Make sure it is enabled!

After doing these things, open LW then do the port test again: Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ to see if anything has changed.


DDrew571 you haven't provided us with enough details about your set up to work with.

Hey Lord Of the Rings,

What would you like to know.
I'll give you a list of everything i can think of that might help you to help me lol

- I have Windows XP
- I have a router and it says on it SMC7004VBR (barricade). I think it has an NAT firewall. I have no idea what that means, but some one here asked me about my router.
- I have rogers Cable high speed internet

i've tried uninstalling and re-installing LW and nothing helps. I've turned off ALL my firewalls and LW still says there is a firewall or router messing up my connection. UMM i made the Gnutella ports because thats what it says to do on the limewire site and that didn't help.

If there is any more info you need please let me know!
