If you are having problem connecting then it's better to try higher ports. Recommended would be the 50000-65000 range. They go up to 65000something.

I use 64049 myself and that works fine for me.

If an ISP uses port blocking or throttling, than they are more likely to be blocking the lower ports.

How long ago did you finish setting up p/f? Let LW sit for a half hour or so, then see of the wall's gone. Did you set up a static IP with no problems? Did you remember to save settings after the router config?

p/f = port forwarding (to save typing it all).

Try turning your router off, leave it for 30 seconds then turn it back on.
You can always do what sleepless suggested & change to a higher port. Try the port that he's using...64049.
Just the same as you've done, but using that higher port number instead of your original.

I tried doing that thing that LIMEWIRE told me to do. With the Gnutella and the UDP port and stuff...

I also tried PORTFOWARDING for my router...

PLUS. I don't live in a dorm and I have been in the same room right beside my ROUTER.
I had used LIMEWIRE before and worked FINE! but now its not working and Im really mad.
Hi, I also visited the sticky, but the LIMEWIRE link to the Mcafee connection troubleshooting does not work (bottom of the page). How do I enable limewire to connect via Mcafee?

despair136,
Has the brick wall gone? Did you try a higher port, like Sleepless suggested?
If you're using SP2, are you using a patch for connections? Try that. You'll find some links in the post below

If that's no help then I'm all out of ideas right now. If you're still suffering, bump this thread & maybe someone else will have some more clues.


Sammig,

Hello all. I'm in the same boat as Despair- I've been waiting two **** HOURS for the thing to get off one bar and connecting. So that I don't get the tech help mad at me, either:

Compaq running windows XP.
I have the windows firewall, with the exception... then just plain turned off. (Still thave the little firewall icon, though, despite a restart.)
My router is a D-link "DI-604"

My test worked.

I have used this program successfuly before.
