First, read a previous reply of mine about Virgin media:

As I have dealt with Virgin before and I know that while they throttle P2P communications they will never publicly admit it. That is why I changed over to Bulldog, where they only partially throttle P2P since being taken over by Pipex.

As for WEP, based on my modem/router's user manual, it's an encrypted radio signal and so should not have a direct affect on your PCs, but who knows, stranger things have happened.

However, your Teredo implementation sound more interesting and seems to be the reason why your older PCs are not blocked. This is what I found out:
I'm guessing but, unless someone says different, the tunnelling protocol is different enough not to get blocked by "bandwidth shaping" anti-P2P technology.

See if you can add Teredo to your other blocked PCs, see how it works and let the forum know how you get on.

I have now implemented the Tunneling option to the other blocked PC's. For your information this is done by selecting the Peer to Peer option in Windows Networking Services which can be opened by selecting Add Remove Windows Components under Control Panel. Unfortunately it has not removed the blockage/firewall. I have also disconnected the Router and have reconnected to the Internet directly through the modem. This also has had no effect to the blockage. Through process of elimination one must assume that the blockage is software based within the PC. Alternatively it must be something that Virgin is up to. Is it possible that their server is in some way restricting only one PC on my network to access Limewire. Surely this can only be done by identifying the IP/MAC address for that PC?
