But still we are already getting somewhere

You say that Limewire worked before using the wireless router

Did you by any chance forget to add Limewire.exe or your set listeningport to your Windows Firewall ?

Have you upgraded your Limewire lately ?

Has the brick wall always been there ?

Also are you sure that your new router really supports UPnP (not just says it does)

Trying Portforwarding your Limewire port is an option. In which case anyone trying to help will need exact name and model of the Linksys

Have you upgraded your Limewire lately ? Yeah, reformated so it's a fresh install.

Has the brick wall always been there ? Since this install.

Also are you sure that your new router really supports UPnP (not just says it does) No idea. My housemate uses the same router though and his works

Well this is a shot in the dark before going into the portforwarding because that can take a while to get working

Did you by any chance by accident choose to not download without a licence ?

That will render most downloads useless. If so go to

Tools>Options>View>Popups and check the revert to default box

Then press apply and ok

then go to Tools>Options>Searching>Basic and uncheck Show Licence Warning

Then go to Filters>Content and uncheck contentfiltering

Press apply and ok

If your Limewire still doesn't work right then post back in this same thread


Good Luck
