No. As I said, you put in the port number, which is 6346.

Your IP number is a different number than your port number. Your ports on your computer are the methods by which information is transferred. Your IP address is broadcasted and gnutella messages are direceted to go to port 6346 in that broadcast.

Thanks. I will try that right now.

Well, that didn't work either. Now what? Is it that anyone with an IP of 10xxx can't upload files? I mean, I can download all the files I want, I just can't upload.

O.k. Ignore all of the previous messages. I looked at my computer and saw that I had sharing turned off in my preferences.

Thanks anyway,
Karin

But now when I look at the "library window" it says Uploads 0/0. I guess I just can't figure this out! Why is it that Kazaa is so simple and user friendly, and this is sooo difficult?!

Just wanted to let you know I sent you a personal message with some instructions on what you have to do. If need further help please contact me using the contact information on my website and I will setup a window to test with you.

I may be one of those guilty of posting a thread in the wrong place and of asking questions about things covered in the FAQ, so I was wondering if you have tips for best places to post to get knowledgeable answers, and if there's any news on acces to the FAQ. I'm using the latest OSX version of limewire, and the FAQ hasn't been accessible since I was first on a couple months ago. I've posted a thread regarding issues with sharing files in the OSX forum as well, and relisted it in the upload/download forum because I, and what I can see of others with the same problem, have gotten very few responses. Those that have been posted are all prefaced by "I'm not an expert, but. . ." I've tried the solutions offered anyway. None of them has worked. The sharing thing only became a problem with the upgrade . . . Anyway, if you have any tips regarding any of this, they would be appreciated.

Just a quick response to the last post. I'm not sure if I can help you with your situation in fact I hope that by now you've found a solution to your problem.

For thos interested LeeWare development has passed the 4 million mark for files distributed via a P2P network. For more information please visit http://www.leeware.com/news.html

I'm using a linksys router and have taken your advice to FORCE the IP address using Limewire. I know the IP address of my router, but when I search for items that I know I'm sharing, I do not see my IP in the list. Do I need to do something else?

R. B.

I don't believe that you can return results for yourself. Meaning that the files you are sharing do not show up in your own search results.

There are two possible options to determine if your sharing is working correctly.

1 - create a uniquely named file for example CHK - 000-000-000
post a reply to this thread when this is done and I'll see if I can download it.

or

2 - leave your machine on for a while I recommend more that 4 hours and check your statistics under the library tab upload column [completed/attempted] uploads.

hope this helps.
