![]() Rogers are known to block p2p, but they wont tell you that... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ghlight=rogers You could try changing the listen port in limewre... go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Firewall and try something between 49152 up to 65535, try this one 64049.... I just looked at the Port Forwarding site and your router wasn't listed, the closest was a 432, you could try logging into your router and see if it's the same set up as this one and try Port Forwarding... http://www.portforward.com/english/r...P/Limewire.htm
