Hi there. I have WinXp, with it's firewall off, but running Zonealarm. Also have a Trend-Net Router. I've given Limewire permission in Zonealarm, but I can not upload files, so users can download from me. I have no problem downloading! I just don't like to be a freeloader! Any suggestions would be welcomed!!!

Please give us your details

In LW go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'recieved incoming this session'...is it true or false? If it's false then you have a problem that's stopping you from recieving incoming connections from other computers...probably a firewall somewhere

I am running WinXp Pro, Zonealarm, and a Trendnet router model TEW-432BRP. I have the windows firewall shut down. I have a 200gb hard drive, and still have about a170gb free. I do have a brick wall in front of the globe icon. I have over 1gb of memory and my available physical memory is 434 mb. I use DSL, my modem is a Gnet ADSL modem. I'm connecting from my home. I'm using Limewire Pro ver 4.12.6, Java 1.5.0_05. My Internet Provider is Interent Kent. When I go to the test page, it says it worked! I'm not sharing, but I do have a router that can support wireless. That's about all that I can think of for now. Hope that helps!

Your router has a firewall. To start with, enable UPnP within the router & then choose the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Click apply to save the change.

Give it 15 mins, if the firewall icon's not gone then you can try port forwarding. Follow the instructions here

Make sure to set up a static IP address first, or port forwarding won't work (you'll find a link within those instructions). Just remember...LW's listening port & the port number that you forward thru your router MUST be the same

Also just double check that your XP firewall is off. I know ZA should turn it off automatically but just make sure.
