Okay, I have disabled the firewall on my computer by going to the Network connections and also adding the Gnutella TCP and UDP under advanced settings. Next I went to my linksys web page and under the applications and gaming I put: application: gnutella, Port range:6346 to 6346, Protocol: both, IP address: 192.168.1.101, then I check the enable box. Then save settings. Then I went to LM under tools and options and checked force port and added 6346 then checked apply and ok. I still can't connect. My linksys router serves as a wireless access, my actual internet connection is through a motorola modem. Please advise if you know of anything further I could try. Thank you.
