I COULD zip it up, couldn't I? And a video file zips just fine and unzips just fine??

I'll also look into pando.

Thank you!!

I'd really like to figure out LimeWire just because I don't like it when things don't work so don't give up on me! But for now, Zipping and Pando may solve the problem.

Thannk you.

Greg Bruce did you put 35000 into the manual port forward box as well as the listen box....

I'm also curious to whether the static IP number is only 1 digit different to your ISP's number...

I ask this because I port forwarded for a friend the other day and the static IP the instructions gave me didn't work, but if i entered the ISP's IP it worked...go figure, I'm at a loss of why that happened...lol

Okay. Is the ISP's IP # the DNS numbers from D-Link? There are two of them. One is the one I log into the web setup for D-Link and the other, quite different in series, is the ISP IP??


I GUESS I ought to mention that I had an OLD Qwest DSL modem and this
"newer" D-Link router. They worked fine together. THEN, I upgraded my DSL to a faster connection and bought this new Qwest, ActionTec GT701. When I first switched out the modems, I could no longer see my network. The tech guys told me the router thought the MODEM had router capabilities and it was confused. The MODEM is NOT a modem/router; JUST a modem. So they had me adjust the IP settings in the D-Link web setup, turn off my XP Firewall and disable my McAfee Firewall and use only the NAT firewall. So this configuration I'm using is a modified configuration from the original that the D-Link set up by default. WHEW! How's that for long-winded. NOW do you guys have any more ideas???

Oh dear you have lost me know lol...

The DNS numbers aren't the ISP's IP, give them a call and get their IP number from them....
The Router login is similar, but not always the same (I think lol)

Once you have that number, delete the configuration you set up in port forwarding the router and just put the original IP number (the one your isp give's you) in where the static IP number should go....It may work, it may not...

With your actiontec, does it have a letter after GT701.

I downloaded Pando and it seems to work just fine for the file transfer that I needed to do. So I guess I've achieved what I need as far as file sharing.

I asked another question that I think got lost in the shuffle but may turn out to be important.

Now that I have a Static IP on this computer, do I need to create Static IP's on the other two that are hardwired to the router and the one that accesses it wirelessly? If I don't make them all Static, will they eventually be assigned the same IP and stop communicating???

That, I think, is the end of my questions for now.

Thank you!!!
