 I know  and I have searched high and low for some sort of port forwarding info on your modem...The general consensus is it is a modem only and not a modem/router, so it can't be port forwarded... I even registered at the port forwarding site so I could find out some info and I'm still waiting for my password and until they send it, I can't post... (I registered yesterday) I did find a thread from a forum that suggested that it wasn't the modem that was blocking a torrent program they where using but a hidden firewall within the computer from an old work security program, when they uninstalled it everything was fine... I recall you mentioning that your brother knew a bit about what was installed on your comp..Maybe ask him if he knows of any program that could be causing this... I'm at a loss....try registering at PortForward.com Forum you may have better luck getting your password sent to you...

| When he had it who was his ISP ?? Try this it may help... Uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire... Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here... Incomplete Download File won't delete at all. Then re-install it using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link... Lime Wire » Download LimeWire
