14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? It worked with my other mac so it should be good to go.

Update:

My problem is the DSL router...

I connected thru my cellphone and it worked but extremly slow.

Anybody knows how to allow acces in a 2Wire 1800HW accespoint?

PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall & look for 2wire near top left. However those instructions are for windows. :( So you will need to adapt them or else, find a manual or instructions from their online help site for mac users.

If you have your osx firewall turned on, did you configure it to allow LW? OSX Firewall settings for Tiger

i just downloaded lime wire last night, all my music has been saved with the path name C:\Program Files\LimeWire\New Folder

but when i look in that folder i only see 1/2 my songs?
they are all saved in that folder and display that path in lime wire, i dont understand

p.s. i just registered i dont know how to post a new thread

any insight would be serverely apreciated, thanx

For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

Remember, the files are only transfered to your download folder once they are 100% completely downloaded. The partial downloaded files are stored in your incomplete folder. If you don't find all files there, then you may have chosen save as without realising into a different location. That option is normally only used in certain cases.

If still in doubt, using OSX's Finder search .mp3 or .m4a & see where they all lead to.
