Dant_e is flying high
Default Linksys WiFi (No Connection)

Ok, I have a WiFi connection through a Linksys router. I have UPnP enabled and have tried adding the LimeWire ports to the router but to no avail. I've read your entire page that gives advice on connection problems but mine doesn't seem to be in there. Either that, or I haven't seen my issue posted yet. Could you please, please, please help? Why is WiFi such a pain?

OK... I see McAfee as being part of your problem...
Have a look at this thread and the links I have provided in the second post, these links are how some members fixed their McAfee issues...

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...onnection.html

If you still cannot connect after that, I can get the port forwarding instructions you need for your router...

And there maybe a few more fixes we can try...

But McAfee is a major contributor....
Also your ISP shapes...

Did you try uninstalling the three parts of McAfee that cause these problems...
