Ok I hate to post yet another connection problems thread but ive tried everything.

First off im using Wild Blue Satellite service. A guy I spoke with said he is pretty sure they don't block anything.

I have a router but my computer is connected directly to the modem.

Wild Blue Box ---> My Computer ----> Wireless Router WRT54GX2 ---> 2 Computers (One running windows xp home sp2, and the other running windows media center) (both wireless)

anything past me shouldnt matter right?

Now my computer is a running windows xp with sp2 the windows firewall is disabled and the norton internet securtity that came with the computer was never setup and and was removed. I ran the test thing that i read in this forum to check port 6346 and it said it worked. But when I run limewire it says im behind a firewall. Also im running limewire 4.9.37. Ive changed the ports around and it doesn't make any difference it still doesn't work.

My computer is working as a server with internet connection sharing running. I even set the internet connection sharing to forward port 6346 to myself (even though i really shouldn't have to)

I also ran the program to change my half open connections from 10 to 50. So i think i covered just about every possible solution you guys have listed on the forum.

Ive also tried running other gnutella clients and none connect (frostwire and bearshare) also emule doesn't want to work either.

I could mess with seting up proxy's but it just seems like it should be working as it is.

This computer is an HP pavilion so could it possibly be some of their proprietary software maybe screwing it up? Im thinking of formatting and putting windows xp pro on it so its a clean version of windows without all the hp junk on it...let me know what u guys think.
