Question LimeWire - "could not find a port to use for incoming connections"

Everytime I start LimeWire 1.6b or 1.6d (i've tried both) I get the error message in the subject line.

Ok, maybe I'm a computer dinosaur, I'm running Wi*** on an older Pentium 166, but I still want to share files right?

I have looked through the posts in this forum, and I find many others who have had the same problem as me, but I have never found a post with a SOLUTION.

Please, someone, can you explain how I get around this in a simple and straightforward (non technical ) way. I have tried changing the port number which defaults to 6355. LineWire will not allow it.

Thank you, LimeWire wizards!!

Sincerely, TIM
