Hi,

Firewalls are notorious for causing problems with Gnutella. However since you say you were able to use LimeWire at an earlier point, there is probably some acceptable configuration that will get things running again. Please try the following to test if you can connect to the router.

1. From the Start menu, choose "Run".
2. In the resulting dialog box, type "telnet 64.61.25.171 6346". Click OK.
3. A window will pop up. If it doesn't say "GNUTELLA OK" within a few seconds, your ISP is probably blocking Gnutella traffic. In this case, there's not much we can do. Non-Windows users can run this as well if they know where to find the telnet program.

Let me know how that turns out,

Avi
