Go to LW's tools > options & set your speed as cable/dsl. Set your downloads as unlimited & your uploads at about 13KB/s.

That 70KB/s download that you saw earlier is about the best you'll get, based on your speed test.

Now for your brick wall Go back through & double check your port forwarding setup. Make sure that the port forwarded, LW's listening port & port number in the 'manual port forward' box are all the same number. Also double check your XP firewall config.
Firewall setup

If port forwarding's still not working...does your router support UPnP? I think it does. Enable UPnP in the router & then choose the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Apply to save a change.
See if that gets rid of your firewall.

yea checked everything again and again, port number r all the same, firewall config. all sweet but brickwall still there!! (jesus...) It was originally on uPnP a couple of days ago but changed it manually to try getting rid of brick ...

Thank you for trying to help..I guess the brick just dont wanna leave me alone..

Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 below ( & also point 2 if you've used much older versions of LW in the past).
Fixes for LimeWire

This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them. So reset your options for port forwarding again & see if that helps (last ditch effort).

*cries...
scared of deleting anything wrong...checked with all other threads but can not find .limewire under "appication Data"!!! actually dont even have "appilication Data" for stop!
Have found a folder called ".limewire" under C://Documents and settings//username

Geez...this is so intense..help Birdy

Application Data's hidden by default. You'll have to show hidden files & folders to view it.

If you've got an old .limewire preferences folder, delete that. Now make sure you've shown hidden files etc & go & see if there's a folder called LimeWire (not .limewire) within App Data. If it's there, delete it. If it's not there, restart LW, go to your optioins & see if all the settings there are different to what you had set. Go right through options & reset everything. Apply to save your changes then restart LW again.

ok...so i did it and reset everything...that damn wall still there



Dont give up on me Birdy
