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.

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.

Your Servant,
Peace.
