I've heard of others both having problem with Clearwire Broadband & also with NextNet devices used elsewhere. AFAIK all or almost all wireless devices have internal NAT firewalls.

jay173's advice is good. Go for a very high port. 49152 - 65535 are usually the best if there's any doubt about ISP blocking of ports. A good one to try is port 64049. ie: go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change the listening port. If still no good, then try changing the connection port also.

If you speak spanish then see http://forum.emule-project.net/lofiv...p/t109149.html
If you don't speak spanish, then see a note in english near the bottom of that link page. This was all I could find when I googled your device model number.

BTW jay173, that port 3045 is officially dedicated to ResponseNet. See http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers & also http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=24523

It really depends upon how an ISP is blocking p2p. They use many techniques. It may include blocking of ports, it may include special programs that detect p2p programs & stop them in their tracks, or they may dedicate them to a lower priority bandwidth whereby they get slower speeds; aka bandwidth shaping. Proxies may 'sometimes' prove successful in cases where an isp is blocking.

Hi NeilJ,
Like LOTR said, people have problems with Clearwire Here's some info I found for somebody else, have a read. It's a pretty long thread!
http://www.irishisptest.com/forum/cl...broadband.html

(if you're going to change ports, you should also change the port number allowed through your XP firewall. All ports must be the same number!)

Follow birdy's advice!

If you didn't see the quote in english then here it is:
We're Clearwire. We make it simple. My name is Brett.

As Yelfris has stated Clearwire is sort of protecting its self and its users. With that said we do not and will not support any P2P file usage. The reason for this is to we do not support illegal file sharing over our network. If you have any additional concerns or questions you can simply reply to this email, or contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone at 1-888-Clearwire. Thank you for using Clearwire and have a great day!

So here is the situation now:

Limewire listening port: set to 64049
Router config. Manual port forwarding - set to 64049 (i also tried use UpNp)

Windows firewall:

Advanced settings for local area connection set to:

Gnutella service (check box selected)

internal and external ports both set to 64049 (for both protocols)

The only other thing, is that the IP stated in the limewire connection help doesnt seem to show up after i save. i.e. - "127.0.0.1"

It seems to default to the name of mhy laptop instead.

Any thoughts...or have we exhausted all options at this stage.

Thanks for evcerything so far....i would just love to get one over on my provider now.....

Here's some extra explanations for setting up XP firewall (don't know if they'll be of help but worth looking at): (i) Settings for XP Firewall, & also (ii) Setting Up WinXP Pro FireWall
