Reboot your computer. Sometimes it's the best when mucking around with new Di-Link settings, etc.

rebooted my computer...no effect
but something popped up a few minutes after i launched limewire
it was one of those notices
it said something like: limewire cannot connect to the network because of an inactive internet (which i'm sure i dont have!) or a firewall is blocking limewire (which i'm also sure is not the problem!) what do i do?

Your router has a NAT firewall. This might be what LW is recognising. You might have to port forward. It's no drama, just takes a little time

First though, I'd give your ISP a call & just see that they haven't started blocking p2p. It seems strange that this happened out of the blue! Do this first, so that you don't go through the whole p/f thing for nothing!

Here's the p/f info anyway, just in case you need it

Step 1. Set up a static IP address

Step 2. Port forward

Step 3. In LW, tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick 'manual port forward', add the listening port number to the box here. Apply.

ok i did the port forwarding thing, rebooted my comp, and waited for a couple minutes for limewire to start. and then the firewall message still comes up! i had a problem during the port forwarding thing though. u know how ur supposed to enter the ip address into the address bar? well mine said something like "page could not be displayed" i was using internet explorer and so i just did the default page...maybe thats the problem?
