lastnightadj: I'm not aware of any Australian isp's that block or filter p2p sharing. BTW the pro support link is here: http://sales.limewire.com/support/? & you can also email them at service@limewire.com

I can say that most wireless systems have some type of firewall. Generally a NAT firewall. The question is whether your devices have UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) capability which allows software that has UPnP abilities to communicate directly with the device to open a port when needed. I found http://www.chilli.net.au/fixed-broadband_equipment.htm on their website. But those might not be wireless ... for fixed use. It looks as though iBurst uses Netcomm equipment. If your device(s) don't use UPnP then the question is whether manual port forwarding is possible. Some Netcomm models can be found here http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm Umm ethernet adaptor!? I'm not sure!

Your answer to Q.11 suggests you've swapped from fixed to wireless right? So if things were fine then, what has changed since? The wireless service? Any different devices? It would be handy if you could get a brand & model no. of your device(s). BTW I suspect your answer to Q.12 would be false. To do it, go to LW's preferences >Bug Reports>Press the View Example button, & it could be half or 2/3 way down you'll see Received Incoming this Session: ___ which will be either true or false. False represents some type of firewall.

MiKeYI: Your details look fine. It might be related to SP2 I'm not sure. You could apply a SP2 patch which will allow more simultaneous connections. See http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools & also see THIS & This

Other than that, it could be your isp that's the issue. You can also check tips & hints here: See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link)

Oh I must have been slow posting!
