 Connection problems in case of provider ?? Hi community, I'll trying to use limewire since two month, or so, read all hints (on the official limewire homepage, also this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...e-posting.html tryied to configure a lot and I'm not able to connect at all. My environment: WinXP SP2; Router Netgear FWG114P, Modem Alcatel(Tompson) Touchspeed 510; Internet ADSL; provider Tele2UTA (Austria) PC: static IP (192.168.0.10) from Router DHCP-Server; Win Firewall OFF Router: UPnP ON; necessarily ports open IN and OUT with static route to 192.168.0.10 Modem & Provider: Tele2UTA told me, they block no ports, have no proxy, the modem has no firewall ... ... BUT as I saw, the register- and welcome e-mail from gnutelaforums were handled as SPAM by the provider. I also took other notebooks via WLAN over the same rooter, no chance. With this notebook and a Web'n walk box over another provider T-Mobile (mobilphone provider) it works fine without any problems. Has anyone experience with this provider or other hints for me? br Karl  |

Some of the infos above I gave in my first post also, but I figured out, this template is more structured, so I hope not forgotten something. Some additional infos: 1. As stated from my ISP: NO ports are blocked; p2p will NOT be blocked; the modem has NO firewall in. 2. Your e-mail from gnutella forum were blocked as SPAM by the provider It's unknowable for me, what the problem could be. It whould be great to get some hints. br Karl |

if you ment TCP / UDP I defined listening ports onetime for both seperatly services, othertime combined service for TCP/UDP at the router. UPnP ON and OFF (manually settings); nothing worked confused ... Karl |

 I have re-read your system stats and saw that you mentioned portforwarding.....hmm, usually we do not use UPnP when we have forwarded the port. Your Netgear router and your static IP would definitely be a strong argument for using portforward..... So, what I would try is to go through the whole process of portforwarding again, i.e setting up a static IP and then following the explanations at portforward.com regarding LW and your router: Limewire & Netgear FWD114 I would even consider to uninstall LW prior to that attempt and delete any obsolete folders (using search on your computer and including hidden folders) as well as deleting any registry entry of LW (using Start>Run...."regedit") Cheers FOTH
