That's the number for incomming and outgoing port ranges...That number is the number you can make up...I use 12020, but another popular number is 64049...
So you need to enter (the number you have chosen) in the TCP and the UDP boxes, remembering it's the same number for all boxes...

Also once you have done that make sure you enter (that same number) in the Listening Port box in limewire as well as selecting the manual port forward option...;)

You can't direct connect if you are behind a firewall !!

Just check that you haven't got that file in your incomplete folder in your Limewire library...

port forwarding
 

can get as far as filling out the global port range which is 2 boxes of numbers. and the base port number. what numbers do i use?

also why cant i just enable the UPNP, the universal plug n play option?
im running limewire 4.10.0 pro and my modem is a westell 6100

Hi VW, See the following Link. Hope this helps.

Port Forwarding for the Westell 6100

ive got that site i dont know what numbers to punch in it doesnt say, for the global port numbers and the base port

Thread merged with vw-'s original thread to prevent confusion.

From looking at those portforward instructions, I'd say you enter the port you've chosen for LW into both the port range boxes (because you're only forwarding a single port) for TCP & then again for UDP...the instructions only tell you to add ports into those boxes so I guess you leave the base port box blank.
