I had trouble setting up a static ip address. I would put one in, but then I couldn't log on to the web.Any suggestions?

Hey guys the test link finally works. Where do I go from here?

Do you still see a brick wall icon at bottom of LW? Will it connect at all?

If not, you could replace the gnutella.net file. If still no connection, install FrostWire & see if that connects. If it does, copy the gnutella.net file from the FrostWire preferences folder across & replace the one in the LW preferences folder. (LW would need to be closed whilst you do this.)

Yes the brick wall is still there. No connection at all.Also LOTR, I don't see a gnutella file in the LW preferences folder.

Frostwire does not connect ither.

You will find one half way down this page: If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link), else in the FW preferences folder. However if it's not connecting, then something is wrong. Did you set the port in FrostWire same as LimeWire? Normally only one application should use a specific port forwarded port, however, FrostWire will also not be able to find an open port for listening. Another firewall rule with a different port for FrostWire is probably needed. O.o Same process but just different port forward number. You already have a static ip so you will not need to do that again, if you did it correctly. And of course enter this port into FW's advanced firewall section.

Perhaps turn your router's firewall security down to 'Low'. Could even turn it off just as an experiment to see if that makes a difference. (think you need to reboot the router again though for the router to use the changes.)

When I try to download zshare, it says the webpage cannot be displayed. When I try to download the 2nd one, all I get is a bunch of #s.???

How can I find out if I have a static ip?

Also, my ip add. is the same as my LAN. What does this mean? I'm sorry Lord for being so computer illiterate. I appreciate your patience.

Unzip the attachment, place first one inside the LW prefs folder. The second zip inside is secondary option just in case.

As long as your ip address is not the same as your router ip address, or same as any other computer on the LAN, then that should be fine.
Example, my internal ip address is 10.1.1.2. I think the other computers on the lan are like 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4, etc.
My router's address is 10.1.1.1
