Any help?

I don't know whether your device supports UPnP. Telnet into it to find if there's a UPnP option. If yes, then enable it, save settings, relaunch LW. Telnet address is probably either 192.168.1.254 or http://192.168.1.254

If there is no UPnP option then forward a port. Find your model here in the left column under Billion http://portforward.com/routers.htm Most important step is setting up a static ip.

All wireless devices have internal NAT firewalls. That's why a port needs to be opened so LW can access through it. Once you've done this, your port test for http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should work & your brick wall icon for LW should disappear.

1. OS version? Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Package 2
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall and AVG Anti-Virus
3. How much ram? 512MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 64.3 GB
5. Connection type? Wireless DSL???
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys, WRT54G (NEW)
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LimeWire Pro 4.12.6
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Shockware (http://www.shockware.com
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Not at the moment.
12. Is this a your 1st try at FW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem, fixed it a year ago but it came back.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of FW's interface? Yes I do.

Is the next step to go into the router and allow gnutella? GRRR

Dont Take Over My Topic Make You Own


LIKE I SAID i think the model name is SSL20 - 7660 any help...??

Sorry, Will do then.

Is your model listed here? http://www.terayon.com/tools/static_...00&cat_id=8.14

Ouch a wrt54g. Linksys are very good, but the 54 series have firmware problems & are unreliable. Is yours running in UPnP mode or port forwarded or neither? Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link). Probably best to portwarded that model linksys device http://portforward.com/routers.htm Unless you want to try to change the firmware with some risky mucking around http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...843#post196843

yes i did that but its still there.. also the modem is very alike to those ones so what do i do now thx

Thanks for that help ill giv it a try

Are you using USB or ethernet cable between your device & computer? If USB, then if you have an ethernet card, change over to ethernet as USB struggles with internet cable bandwidth. If no ethernet card, then make sure your USB cable is the only one connected to that port (not others like keyboard, printer, etc.)

I don't know where your firewall issue is coming from. AFAIK your device is simply a cable modem. I wonder if your ISP is responsible. You could try changing listening port. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change the listening port to one between 49152 - 65535 such as 64049. Press apply.

i have a printer attached to the back of the computer but im not sure if it is the usb port
also i changed the port thing and restarted limewire and the brick is still there

im getting pissed
