10 Bucks!!! WOW

First you says the test doesn't work and then still try to forward the same port Blocked means blocked

Set both the listening port and the forwarded port to the same number, but choose one between 50000 and 60000. Then restart Limewire

If you are able to at least connect now we're allready making progress :wink:

The windows firewall might be a problem though. We need to figure that one out somehow

Now on to your router. First go out and buy a new one that's not a WRT54G Kidding

No seriously they are a real drag to get working with any P2P software including Limewire. Some do succed though, meaning there is some hope.

I'll post back with some links that might help a bit

edit: Found it. Either Henne197 had some serious setback making him/her unable to reply or got it working and was very rude not to say thanks Just remember that the firmwareupgrade is for WRT54G v5
If you have any other version then don't use it

For the router try typing admin into both username and password

hey thanks for replying, i tried using the pass and username as admin and it didnt work.....again.... im gonna go c if i can borrow my friends router and try it here.

well after changing routers and later connecting my computer directly to my isp (evertek)port 6346 remains blocked and I know that my modem isnt doing it because i used limewire on it before for a couple years...the only other explaination is that my isp (evertek) is blocking the port and not allowing me to connect with limewire...i tried the proxy thing again and.....nothing
idk if n e one can help but if u can PLEASE post back
thanks

Try another port to connect thru. Try one between 49152 - 65535 (eg: 64049) as these are usually the very last ISP's block. ie: go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change the connection & listening port both to the higher port. If you have manually port forwarded your connection device then you'll need to do another for the new port. Also adjust any firewall settings if they specify ports. Remember you should only have one active software firewall.

Did you get a manual with your NextNet device? Within it should be instructions on how to log in & how to open certain ports or how to enable UPnP. Both the Linksys & NextNet devices will have internal NAT firewalls. Also check the wrt54g note under the UPnP section here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

I tried my brothers router,my friends router,my other router, and finally I just moved my whole computer to my basement and tried a direct connect to my modem and....none of it worked (obviously its not the router) and I highly doubt its my modem...I asked some of my friends that use evertek and they said their limewire has also stopped working so has my brothers!?!? I cant connect to the router using admin as pass or admin as pass and username or anything so, im just gonna try using my 2nd router and c if i can port forward on that

Try changing connection ports or did you try already?

aparently this one i cant port forward on either....it doesnt even say its a router it says 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network Hub Model NH1005 LinkSys
!?!?!?!???!!??!?!?!??!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!! ?!!?!?!?!?!!????!!!!!??!?!?!?!??!?!
ARGH!!

connection ports u mean in tools>options>advanced>firewall config and listen on port and manual port forward? Ya, they are both set at 52255

Yes....Finally

Yes

BTW I'm not sure of your specific model but most LInksys wrt54g's you can port forward. eg: http://www.portforward.com/english/r...G/Limewire.htm
But this is not your issue I suspect.
