Can someone please help me out before I lose my mind!(cannot connect)
 

I cannot connect, it hangs on "starting connection" with a firewall wall showing.

Its not just limewire tho, Ares wont connect, it hangs on connecting as does DC++, frostwire and probably everything else...

I have Tiscali as my ISP :lmao: (and I think with BT it worked fine) and I know all about them BUT I think it might have something to do with my new (ish) router.

I have a linksys wireless G router (WAG354G v2) and p2np is enabled. Not sure what other settings I need to setup if any? I tried disabling both the built in router firewall and my sygate firewall but that made no difference.

What else can I try? Limewire did used to connect sometimes but now its almost never.

thanks :bangh:

This link will give you instructions for port-forwarding, but I wouldn't hold my breath if you have Tiscali as your ISP :o

Port Forwarding for the Linksys WAG354Gv2

Good Luck :D

thanks but it didnt work.. :(

just one question... should I change it back to what it was before I did all that? would my pc be more secure if I did or is it ok to leave it as it is?

I did follow this..

and using a proxy it works (at least it seems to be). It is stuck on "fair" connection but i guess its better than nothing at all.
