Default Rogers and Limewire

I am a Rogers Cable Ultralite Internet subscriber. I thought I would add this little bit of information. I am using a D-Link router and was unable to connect to Limewire. I went into router settings and Port Forwarding options. I set it up as follows (DHCP must be enabled on router and you must use an available private IP address.)

I got an updated proxy from Yahoo and tried it. It still has a stupid firewall. Any other suggestions? I took down my gateway and reinstalled it and it worked for awhile until the battery went dead.

Does anyone know of a LimeWire version which has no connection problems when you're running IP filters like PeerGuardian 2?

This is my last throw of the dice before I uninstall LimeWire as a hopeless case.

The instructions here which say Tools - Options - Advanced - Post is no good if you have no 'Post' option to click.
