Using limewire in a local network

#1 (**permalink**) April 11th, 2001

Hi all

I'm using limewire in a home local network. My router is a linux box using ipchains. I've setup a redirector in that box for the port 6342, so it sends incoming requests for that port to 192.168.1.2 machine on the network on the same port (I use redir). Then I've setup limewire to force ip address to that port and with the ip that my isp gave me.

I'm still unable to download a lot of files!! I always get: Waiting x secs for retry... and then Unable to download or something similar.

What's happening??

Thanks

Did you set:
options->network->listening Port
to 6342 ?
If not, do so.
