I am having the same connection problem. Brickwall wont go away, lw not connecting. Old version worked great. New update is crap. Why are all these people having problems and lw doesnt do anything?!!! In my office, I cant use lw, but 4 feet away, next cubicle, same isp, old version, still works like a charm. Ive done all the support stuff; port forwards, etc. still nothing. I'm sick of Sleepless and others telling people that its their problem, not lw. Lw need to get on the ball and make this work, but apparently they dont care.

btw, i tried frostwire and got the same results.

in limewire i have the brick wall i have broadband and i can connect to limewire perfectly with no problems and downloads seem to go great why is it working for me and is my kb speed affected by the brick wall

Unless you want to be a free loader (leech), then it would be best to configure the problem so the firewall icon goes away. Otherwise people will struggle to downld from you. What firewalls do you have & what broadband modem/router brand & model do you have?

BTW yes it can have 'some' effect on your download speed.

I only see you have 2 posts to your credit. So where are all your details of set up? Are we supposed to guess, use esp, etc. lol Gnutella is a sharing network. It would appear that your previous version, whilst it could download, it doesn't share. Right? One way to check. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? BTW the type of information we need to know is listed here. And part of also listed here Forum Rules (click here)

well i am not the what you call the expert when it comes to computers , but this is what i know from your questions i have optimum online the regular one not the optimum boost and i also have a linksys router the model is WRT54G and the firewall that I use is Zonalarm and that test that i took where t says example in bug report it says false what does that mean please tell me so i can fix the problem

Erm 3 possible problems here. WRT54G is probably the worst model Linksys ever brought out. It does not work reliably in UPnP mode. Normally Linksys devices are very good(amongst the very best) but any model with 54 in it is not so good. If you're not computer literate then you don't want to do the to the firmware.

Optimum (OOL) is reknown to have problems with p2p sharing. Best bet is to use a high listening number. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change the listening port to 64049. Press apply & close & re-open LW.

ZA firewall. Make sure XP firewall is disabled. Go to the control panel, double click on Windows Firewall, check the disable box. Then configure ZA as described in a link at the very bottom of the page here (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link).

If still problems, try port forwarding your linksys device. You'll find a link for your model here http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm
