i have a question
 

how do i know what my number for limewire is like you know if you browse a host and a number pops up on the search tab thats what i want to find out what is my number??????????????????????????????:confused:

On the left side of the LW window you should see 3 tabs.
"Keyword", "What's new", and "Direct connect"

Click the last one and there you should see a number; that's your IP (if I am not mistaken);)

Ok Now Im Having Trouble Direct Connecting

u r welcome

By the way, there would be another way as well:

Check you IP address manually

Win 95/98 Operating Systems
• Click on the Start menu
• Select "Run"
• Type "winipcfg". Click"OK"

Win NT, 2000, XP Operating Systems
• Click on the Start menu
• Select "Run"
• Type "cmd". Click"OK"
• Type "ipconfig". Click "Enter"
;) :cool: :D

Go to this thread and follow the advice of LOTR: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ect+connecting
:cool:

I just tried the ipconfig and the Limewire direct comnnect hints. Both begin the same, but the LW number has 4 more numbers. Is this just for LW purposes or is there an error in the two numbers?

its a port number. Always 4 digits I think. You will need to use that I think. Not sure though

The four more numbers are the port number (I assume they are " :6346 ") which your computer uses to 'listen' to incoming datas. So they belong to the number you should type into the field for direct connection. In case that you have a dynamic IP, which means that your ISP randomly chooses one for you, you have to check again with 'ipconfig' to confirm your present number.;)
