Thanks LOTRs,

Our modem/router is an Allied Telesyn AT-AR240E.


I don't particularly want to use FrostWire; I just downloaded it to see if it could connect to Gnutella (which it could - first time).

Apart from the failure to connect, my LimeWire is acting a bit weird: when I click on connect nothing happens in the Connections tab for about 60 seconds then it tries to connect to around 10 hosts which drop off one by one and then nothing again.

It stays like this till a window with "LimeWire is unable to connect to hosts on the Gnutella Network" etc continually pops-up and I have to access my Task Manager to force LimeWire to quit.

Like I say, nothing has changed from a network/firewall point of view at work and the only things to change on my PC are the Microsoft Updates.

To be honest, I'm ready to re-program the f*cker with a hammer.

Ta for the help.
