I'm using LimeWire file sharing software for both downloading and uploading purposes.

I have been using ADSL router (D-Link DSL-500G) connection since last month (used to connect to Internet using dial-up modem which still available now).

Whenever I use LimeWire with router connection, I find that in Limewire:

1) The file searching showed relatively less results, ie. it showed
relatively less number of available hosts (available to be downloaded) for a specific file compare to if I'm using dial-up connection and search... (This happened frequently)

2) The uploading slot is rarely active, most of the time it shows zero uploading and occasionally one uploading. However, if using dial-up connection, obviously after I have connected to LimeWire network, my uploading slots are very busy (from 2 to 5 active uploading mostly).

It seems that the router connection always "blocked" or filtered some of the hosts from reaching to my computer (shared folder) and vice versa. I would like to know how to solve this and enable all the incoming and outgoing network traffic (make it as universal as possible).

I tried using different version such as 4.0.8 and 4.1.4 but the situations remain.

Any advice are highly appreciated. Thanks.
