OK, I'm fairly new to the forum, but I've been using Limewire for a while now.. maybe I can help.

You first problem may be in the firewall (firewire is highspeed data transfer bus). If you are having problems connecting, try to eliminate anything that could cause failure. Also, see if you have software firewall software and turn that off as well.

Also, how fast is your internet connection? I used to have a modem and I seem to remember when selecting a type T1 or Better connection seems to overload the modem with too many messages (hence actual downloads were slower). You should set you speed to the appropriate setting, it will be the best for you.

Hmm... I wonder if because of your Univ connection you should try to force an IP address, you are most certainly running from a static IP and maybe LW is having problems connecting to the Univ IP. Try figuring out when the Univ IP address is and force it... giving other users a better idea of how to connect to you.

And if it is the Univ hardware/software that is blocking the port, then you may very well be out of luck.
