Help - having trouble(can't connect)
 

This seems to be a fairly routine question from people but I'm struggling to find an answer. Here's my system details:

1. Windows XP
2. Bullguard anti virus and firewall - disabled Windows firewall (have tried disabling both but brick wall still showing)
3. Plenty of RAM
4. Plenty of disk space
5 Broadband
6. Belkin N1 MIMO wireless modem router
7. My home
8. 4.12.11 Pro and Java 1.5.0_06
9. Homecall
10. Test worked
11. Wireless router connecting 3 computers (my pc is wired - 2 others wireless)
12. Downloaded Pro in January and it has been working brilliantly until a week ago. All I can get is starting connection

Any ideas?

BTW not too technically minded when it comes to computers so basic english is useful when describing things!

Thanks

Pipex Homecall are known to throttle p2p...Take a look at Birdy's posts in this thread...

I'd say you have popped up on there radar as a heavy downloader and they have now throttled you....

You could try changing your listening port number to something between 49152 up to 65535, try this one 64049....

Changing the listening port
 

I did see some advice about changing the listening port before but to be honest I can't figure out how to do it - I can add exceptions to be allowed through the firewall but can't find how to change the port. I will investigate changing my provider if Homecall are not too friendly towards p2ps. Thanks

Whilst in limewire go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Firewall configuration..
