Hi burt691.

Two or more computers connecting

When using more than one computer, on one connection through a router or modem/router
wireless or cable. (Most have built in NAT firewalls)
It is necessary to create a different static IP for each computer, then use different port No's on each limewire used.
In LimeWire, GO to Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall Config & use Manual Port forward.
using port numbers between 45000 To 65000.
Both Manual Port forward No, & listening port should be set at the same number

Then port faward your router
Find your router listed here, Use this blue link. & dont forget to create a static IP first, & click apply after changing each setting.
PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

Then add port No's to McAfee
McAfee Security Center Port Forwarding to run with Limewire.

Just double check that your XP firewall is off & that your McAfee is configured to allow LW.
Click on this Blue link, it will open on the page you need to configure Mcafee.
Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center


Your Servant,
Peace.
