4.10 connection problems w/firewall
 
I have McAfee firewall and I'm behind a Linksys wireless router (Windows XP). I downloaded 4.10 and now Limewire says that I do not have an "active internet connection or im behind a firewall." My firewall is set to allow Limewire so I dont know what the problem is. any ideas?

*it goes really slow*

Make sure UPnP is activated on your Linksys device. See Linksys UPnP setting (click on link)

Then try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 in Fixes for Limewire (sample at bottom of page.)

Then try connecting again! ;) Give it plenty of time to connect.

The UPnP is enable and it's still going really slow. McAfee is allowing limewire.... im so confused

Are you sure you have properly configured your route what model number is your router.

Grandpa,
He/she has a Linskys WRT 54G router. I've asked that he/she check their post to get your advice.

The link below will take you to the start page for your router make sure you set up a static IP address and port forward your router.
