I had a look thru the manual of your modem & it doesn't appear to have any internal firewall. Recheck your McAfee settings. You may need to add setting for both port 6346 & the other port which I'm guessing is 31823.
Check your settings under (LW's menu bar,) Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls. Is it set to UPnP or manual port forward? You could try swapping these. Press apply & disconnect, reconnect again.
Just double-check your settings here License requirement (click on link)
BTW the no. you see at the very bottom of LW, to the right of the firewall icon is how many files you're sharing & it also shows overall downld & upload speeds & quantities. |
I considered entering the 6346 port, but when I went to enter it,
I got the message, "The port number is already used by another
entry. Please enter a unique port number." I'm guessing that is
because I had been trying out the various types of Gnutella clients
for Windows, all probably using the 6346 port number.
I gave Bearshare the heave-ho because of the large amount of
adware/spyware components included in the program, yet necess-
ary for the program to work. I installed Shareaza at one point, and
deleted it because of the trojans/worms/etc. In retrospect I should
not have blamed Shareaza for that and have subsequently reinstalled
it. I don't seem to have any problems with it. But I really did have
a leaning towards LimeWire.
I seem to remember from other P2P programs, that UPnP was not
operational. So, I switched it to manual port forward. I still keep
getting that blasted brick wall. .......sigh....... Thanks for trying
to assist me.
