Hey ELoXL, glad someone figured this out. But can you please post here, would save me time (and future visitors) from doing the search.

What did Optonline tell you regarding Limewire not connecting?

See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=53091 It appears OOL has started blocking or shaping ports up to 49000

The free ports are (49152 - 65535) & these are usually the very last for ISP's to block.

I sent a pm asking ELoXL for details about how he went about changing it whilst he was online but I didn't get a response so far. You'll find options to change port in Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls. You'd also need to change firewall setting if it uses a port setting. I asked ELoXL whether he has his LW setting to UPnP or manual port forwarding, etc.
