14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).

Your Router does have a Nat Firewall, so give Port Forwarding ago...
These are your instructions...
Port Forwarding for the Linksys befw11s4v2

Also try deleting the limewire preference folder (if port forwarding doesn't work)...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...

Thanks for the help but that did not work either. As I stated in my original posting, there is no reason this should not be working in my environment when I disconnected my router and went straight form the cable modem to my computer with just Windows XP frshly formatted (all updates), java installed and Limewire. No Norton, Windows Firewall, etc.

This does however work on my laptop when i plug it into my cable modem directly. On that note, since the computers have the same software installed, I can only conclude that the Mac address or computer name must be blocked somehow by Limewire.

Thanks anyways.
