'Can't connect' Limewire PRO to OSX 10.2.8
 

My LimeWire used to always work with my computer before I moved it. Since I couldn't get it to work, I ended up buying Limewire PRO because I figured they might not be supporting all the free/basic versions as well anymore.

Anyways, here's the error message I get when I try to run Limewire:
"Your machine does not appear to have an active Internet connection or a firewall is blocking LimeWire from accessing the internet. LimeWire will automatically keep trying to connect you to the network unless you select 'Disconnect' from the File menu."

I've read that I need to port forward (or) manually configure the firewall. Problem is, I haven't found anywhere that gives me any advice for macs or my specific router. I have a DSL connection through the SpeedStream 5200.

Can somebody help me out? LimeWire's support sure isn't getting back to me...

I found these 2 links: 1. http://home.visi.com/support/dsl/5200/ & also 2. http://forums.speedguide.net/showthr...73#post1520273

"If" you need to forward a port, you'd need a static ip which is the 1st thing you should do. Then after forwarding a port, the last step is within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.

how do i get the static ip?

nevermind...you put a link for that.
i'll see if this works for me.
