Go to this site & choose a file to downld: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & if you can downld it, see if there's more than one source under the # column. If yes, try to browse them. This might help you to get started.

No I don't. Is is possible for you do by-pass your connection devices. Let's see if it's the device at fault.
Which ISP provider do you go thru?

Do you only have one firewall (XP has its own firewall!)?

I can't get Limewire to connect no matter what I do. I tried the deleting the directory or whatever thing. I tried the adding Gnutella to the firewall exceptions. I don't have Norton Internet Security (atleast I don't think I do, I tried looking for it all over). I tried turning off Windows Firewall. Unless there's something I didn't do already, I don't know what to do. I have Windows XP, a dial-up connection, Limewire version 4.8.1, and Windows Firewall (can't find any other firewalls). It uses a modem. Can someone please help me!?!?

Shadow921 you use an aol proxy. AOL is reknown for problems for LW users. If you're using a proxy, did you configure that into your LW settings (LW's menu Tools>Options>Advanced>Proxy/Firewall.)

I also have a DI Link but I was forced to forward a port. I don't think DI Link use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP.) If you wish to try port forwarding then use the following instructions very carefully & in that order. Most important is setting up a static ip. Also do a separate port forward (PF) for both TCP & UDP.

Steps:
1. Set up a static ip

2. Forward Port 6346, instructions for this & setting up a static ip here: http://www.portforward.com/dlink/di-524.htm (Find LimeWire on the list when you get to the PF stage!)

3. Within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.
the fixes for limewire thing didnt work. i have no idea how to set up a static ip. could you explain this to me as if i know nothing about the ip stuff? i rally appreciate your help.
