Is my firewall (BlackICE) preventing users from connecting to me as clients? Should I tell my firewall to open 6346 (the port that Limewire options says it listens to). Is my firewall hindering Limewire from being an Ultrapeer? |
First off, let me start out by saying that I've never been an ultrapeer so I don't know what it looks like. However, it sounds to me like if you're already receiving connections from leaf nodes your firewall seems to be allowing your machine to function successfully as an ultrapeer.
As for BlackICE blocking port probes, I'd offer some theories, but they're certain to be wrong.
