Most of my uploads have resulted in a "transfer interupted" alarm,
only 2 uploads have been sucessfull.(downloads are working fine). In the past, no one had problems uploading off my computer. I recently updated and began using limewire again when I noticed most uploads were failing.( I have Norton Internet security firewall, but it didn't seem to be a problem before. Maybe Norton updates have created one?)
The limewire "direct connect" says my ip address is.........
68.103.144.249:6348 . Should I attempt to force this address?
My default lime wire "listen port" was 6346. I changed it to 6348 to match the limewire "direct connect" numbers. Was this correct? Or should the "listen port" number be different than the "dirert connect" number. Feedback will be appreciated as this issue has me confused. Thank you.

According to the statistics you posted x = number of completed uploads / y = number of attempted uploads. Therefore, it looks like you had 9 uploads and 1 attempt unless you accidentally reversed the results. Which means that you had 1/9.

If I were you I would change everything back to the default. Especially, if you are making changes and don't understand what affects they will have. This could create more problems for you. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you only change that which is necessary. What you might want to consider is configuring your norton firewall to allow an exception for limewire.

The 9/1... for example:
The 1 literally has dots after it, I assumed this meant it was over 100, which would mean I had 9 successful uploads out of over 100 attempts.
Is that correct? Sorry to keep dragging this on, by the

Cobra8007 glad to hear you sorted out your issues. I saw in an earlier thread of yours about the isp you use. I was wondering if you'd heard about THIS issue?

Yes, as I had posted earlier in this thread and others. Cox says that they do not block P2P traffic and this was confirmed by switching OS to win2003server. It worked fine then. I pay Cox for a commercial cable line which does not block anything. It is used for servers, etc. They do block port 80 requests on residential to prevent servers being run on residential lines though.

This is true for this area (Oklahoma City).

As a Linewire newbie this info was truly a gawdsend! thanks for taking the time.

Sorry Limewire! duh!!!!

Broxibear, I'd like to know the answer to that one. Actually, I'd like to have even 1 user, as opposed to none. Most of the time I have only 'awaiting sources.

I'd like to have the machine you'r running, too. Seems like a really nice one. As to the memory, do you think a gig adds much to the performance as compared to 412Mb?
