ASking if anyone has Cox internet service in the San Diego area. I have gotten Limewire to work off of other wireless routers, but not at my house. For whatever reason, I can't get more than one bar of wireless service. I have tried everything including changing IP addresses, and I have no idea why my Limewire will work off of everyone else's wireless routers BUT the one at my house.I have a Motorola SBG900 (I think) - it's a router and modem in the same box. If anyone knows what I can do to start file sharing again, please let me know.

Have you tried port forwarding the device?
Routers have NAT which behaves like a firewall. 1. First step is always setting up a Static ip: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall 2. Then set up a port forward rule within the router, & settings for LW: Port Forwarding for the Motorola SBG 900 Make sure your computer software firewall (should ONLY be one active) is configured to allow LW full access: User Cant Connect - LimeWire If using a 3rd party firewall then disable Window's firewall.
