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.

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.
