If you have taken the advise of others to force your IP using limewire then your half way there, as your port forwarding is working correctly. But, you need to FORCE THE IP OF YOUR ROUTER or FIREWALL to the network. To find out what your ip is from the machine that you use to get on Gnutella open a web browser to http://www.whatismyip.com
(write this IP down and force this IP in Limewire) If you need help testing this Just post a reply to this thread.
err yeh....well im sorry if this has been asked already but there are 30+ pages. however im a new user of limewire (just got it yesterday) and i wish to know how to 'force my IP' and how to find out if im already doing so. if you need any information just ask me but im running limewire on windows with nortan antivirus and windows defender.
