Thumbs up Tried all suggestions in stickies. Port Forwarding Problem - Resolved !!!

After trying everything suggested in the stickies, including the patch given for SP2 users, I've had no avail getting LW to work.

System details:

1. what OS version (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) ? XP w/ SP2
2. What firewalls you have ?Disabled Windows firewall. Enabled port fowarding on my Linksys WRT4GS wireless router.
3. How much ram ? 1 GB
4. Hard Disk space available ? 100+ Gbs
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ? Comcast Cable Internet
6.Modem what brand name & model numbers ? Motorola SB100 cabel modem
7.Router brand name & model numbers ? Linksys WRT4GS wireless router
8. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.) ? House
9. What version,LimeWire & Java, are you using. Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? LW:4.14.10 Java:1.6.0_02
10. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? Comcast
11. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? "Your test worked!!"
12. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up: Sharing connection with other people in my house. My computer however is the only one plugged in to the router through an ethernet cord rather than a wireless connection. Limewire works for other computers.
13. Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? 1st try at my new place with this computer. Used LW on my laptop here.
14. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? Yes
15. Have you given full permissions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? I think so, added ports to port forwarding (6430 - 6440
16. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? firewall off
17. In Start & remove Programs, Is this update Installed, "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)" ? Yes
If Windows Updates are not seen, Tick the box at top of page, (show updates)
18. Are you using Manual Port faward in LimeWire OR UPnP ?Manual through 6436, same with listen port
You can check HERE, IN LimeWire Go, Tools/options/advanced/firewall Config

Thanks in advance for any help, I've been working on this a while and can't seem to find the problem .

I think you may of messed up the port forwarding, as you only want one port number and it is best to have a number between 10000 and 60000...

Here are the port forwarding instructions for your router, make sure you also set up the static IP number as well (if you haven't already)....

That worked perfect, I basically didn't have a static IP set up right. Thanks for the help.
