Angry Firewall issues I think.....

I think I'm having firewall issues. I'm able to download anything. I set LW to be allowed through my firewall and even turned it off. Yet LM still shows the brick wall and still wont allow me to DL anything. When I click to DL a song it continually says connecting...

Anyone who may be able to help a frustrated person, who never had issues DL on my old computer. Here's a little idea of what I'm working with.


1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98) Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? Verizon Internet Security
3. How much ram? not sure, but plenty
4. Hard Disk space available? more then enough
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Westell d90-327w15-06
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? home
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
14.12.11
9. Who is your ISP provider? Verizon DSL
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Worked
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

I only have on Firewall, unless theres something i don't see

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False

False

13. Do a speed test post the results here. DL: 2466 and UL: 736

Try Port Forwarding your router as it has an built in Nat Firewall...
Here are the instructions...
