When you click on Direct Connect, it will tell you what IP address to give your friend

That's weird. When I click on DC, it says "when your friends want to connect to you, they should enter *******:****(my IP address).

What version of LW are you using?

If the DC's not doing it, go to:

http://www.whatismyip.com/

That'll tell you your IP & then after the last digit, add this:
:Limewire's port number

Tools > options > advanced > firewall config & then you'll see what port LW's using.

After the IP address & the colon, you'll have to put in LW's port (it might not be the same for yu both). go to tools > options > advanced > firewall config & you'll be able to see what port LW is listening on.
