Here are the instructions for you to Port Forward your D-link router, don't forget the static IP part it is very important....;)

Hi Again,

I followed the instructions, but the listen port keeps defaulting back to 6346.What should I do?
Thks Tina

now the listening port is at 60000 and the manual at 50000 in limewire but in the virtual it is allowed at 50000.

The manual and the listen ports have to be exactly the same number and they have to be exactly the same as the number you used in the port forward instructions...
When you have entered the numbers into limewire make sure you click on apply...;)

yes, I understand..but for listen port it is saying that 50000 is not available? Should I start over? Tks!

I would start again, you shouldn't have to do the static IP part again though, once you have one you can Port Forward other apps without re-doing it...
Try using 64049...:rolleyes_2:

hello,
Thank you for all your help, but it's still not working. I will have to perhaps get a professional to take a look or/and call the D-Link company. If you have any ideas...feel free!

Tks again!

I called D-Link and they want me to ask you what port number I should use? Right now under limewire the listen port and manual is under 6348. I cannot get it too 6346. Please help.

....64049 is a good one...

D-Link says that the problem is that when we add the ports, that I am choosing both as the protocol type and it should be either tcp or udp. Do you know which one it is? Thanks again!

Tell them you have to do 64049 for both TCP and UDP...
Normally you fill in the TCP boxes and apply it and then you fill in the UDP boxes and apply them...Just remember that all boxes have to be just the one number 64049....;)

I tried that with that number and it doesn't work. All for the listen it won't allow me too pick 64049 but it keeps defaulting to 6348.

Ok let's try this first and then we can get back to the Port Forwarding...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...
