OK, I guess you have a built in firewall in your wireless modem/router so that means you will have to configure your built in firewall to let LW through.

This means you will have to read your wireless modem/router manual to understand how you can do this or, if you don't have a manual, download it from the maker's web-site.

Either way, you have a lot of reading and learning to catch up on.

O I thought I was configiring the Routers Firewall on the "192.168.2.1" site but yeh I have a massive pdf manual lol I'll read that then.

Oh & btw when you said dial up or broadband, I had both, as in I dialed up to broadband.
But it wasnt 56k modem or pay as you go, & it also wasnt an always connection..

thx

Ok I just disabled my Router Firewall & the NAT Firewall (Which automatically restarted my router) (& I Disabled Nortons), then restarted Limewire & I still get the dam brick wall.

I really dont know what to do now :(

All help NEEDED lol

Cant anyone think of any other ideas,

I wont give up on this until its solved :)

The "brick wall" is not always a bad thing, Limewire does configure itself to run behind a firewall, mine is up all the time, even when I turn my firewall off the "wall" is still there, but it makes no difference as my d/load speeds are always consistent, 75-140kbps (depending on amount of hosts etc)

But I notice a big change between how it used to be and now.

Say if I downloaded 500 songs at once, It used to get them all apart from literally one or two.

But now it only get about 150, leavng 350 Need More sources, & Awaiting Sources & Mainly Connecting.

yes well I think everyone has noticed this change, do not forget that possibly 40-50% of the files you think you are downloading are actually fake/spam/viruses so think yourself lucky that you get 150 of the d/loads you start!!

The ones that never connect are invariably fake btw

Hmmm, Oh well, i'll sort it out one day, I know theres still something wrong with it:(
