13. Yes
14. Yes (28541 forwarded, same as in limewire expert window)
15. Sophos Antivirus 7.05
16. Switzerland

Hey guys

I used LW for the past few years and it worked perfectly. Even with this PC etc., and this provider so nothing wrong there.
It's just the first time I'm using a router and other thing that changed is that I now have Sophos Antivirus - but that shouldnt be the problems because there is no firewall included.

Windows Firewall is also configured (I just allow Limewire to connect to the internet - "UPnP-Framework" is disabled though (whats that exactly anyway?) but the port IS forwarded in routeroptions.

Any help?

Edit: I also read somewhere that port 6346 needs to be opened - that didnt work (said port conflicts with other service in routeroptions)

Allright...everything works fine now.

Seems that UPnP didnt work correctly. My router _did_ forward the correct port, but it was still not working. So I had to set up a static IP adress for my pc and forward the port manually - and voilą, everything works.
