I can not find the information for my router listed anywhere. I did change the manual port setting to match the listening port but that is as far as I have gotten at this point.

Need help. The program worked fine the other day and now it won't connect.

I found this info on your router, it has a Nat Firewall so you will need to Port Forward...

I will point out when you get to the box that says Port Range name it limewire and add the number 64049 in all three boxes for the TCP and then make the same rule for the UDP using the same number again..

When you have finished with the router, in limewire place the number 64049 into the manual port forward box as well as 64049 into the listen port box and select apply...

These are very similar instructions if not the same...They have actual limewire configration instructions...
