Default No uploads after router upgrade - plea for advice
Howdy all.

I've recently replaced my USB DSL modem (connected diretcly to my spare PC) with a standalone router/firewall/DSL box (with which the spare PC talks via ethernet). Prior to the upgrade, my local LimeWire install was uploading 2GB/day and the queue was always full. Now it barely uploads 100MB/day and the queue is often empty.

Something's definately broken. I suspect introducing NAT into the equation, but could use advice.

Things I've tried so far:
  • Disabling the firewall entirely (it initially was configured to pass all traffic on 6346 and 6348, as per the software firewall in the old setup). No change.
  • Configuring NAT to pass *all* ports and protocols to the box running LimeWire rather than just TCP and UDP on 6346 and 6348. No change.
  • Toggling the 'force IP' switch in LimeWire options. No change.
  • Reverting back to the USB modem. Uploads at 2GB/day and a full upload queue.

If there's anyone out there with happy LimeWire on a home network - in particular using a Solwise 715 modem/router - I'd appreciate both encouragement than it's possible and advice on working setups.

Cheers.
