Have you configured your firewalls for LW: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

I don't have any instructions for your modem. My guess is the issue is with your comp firewalls.

I had a look at statistics, after configuring Windows Firewall as well as McAffee, and now 90% of ppl are gettting thru
Thanks for your help, Rob.

Xcellent. With many more people uploading from you, you will find LW runs more efficiently; ie: better search & downld results, & incomplete files continueing much more easily - without necessarily any search help.
