Thanx peerless, but i think i have figured out, what the problem may be...

When i open Limewire, i have noticed the BRICK WALL remains on all the time, this has only started happening since i changed to a new ISP & removed the AOL software that was on previously!


my connection on Limewire is still going to TURBO charged, but my download speeds are much much slower than before!

i'm trying to figure out, how to get rid of the block wall, i have already re installed Limewire pro twice!

i have also deleted the the preference folder, but nothing has changed...

what other options do i have, what is causing the brick wall? i'm sure it isn't my Avast anti virus, due to the fact it has never blocked me in the past.

any suggestions, are much appreciated.. thanx!

Could you supply these details please, then we may be able to see what is causing your firewall...

14. Are You Port Forwarding Or Is UPNP Enabled? I Really Don't Know (Need Advice On This Matter)

15. What Security Programme Am I Using? Avast Anti Virus

16. What Country Am I In? United Kingdom

I must point out that i have never had this prob before, i have only now started to experience, very slow downloads, since changing ISP, they did not supply me with a modem/router, so using the previouse one by AOL

My new ISP have assured me, they are not shaping p2p traffick...

would appraciate any help on this matter

Well there are no guides supplied for your modem at Port Forward.com, so I googled it and couldn't really find anything about it having a Nat Firewall, as it's just a modem not a modem/router...

There is nothing else in your details that indicate this firewall either...
So I am going to suggest trying these fixes as they have worked for others....
