![]() Hi guys I live in an apartment block and I have a network point in my room to access the internet, but I cant get Limewire or any torrent mangers to connect. The cable runs from the wall to my pc. I also disabled all firewalls and I do not have access to a router since the internet runs through the entire block. Please help me solve this problem!!!! J |

![]() I am aware some ISP's in South Africa are not friendly to p2p users. Don't know if yours is one of those. Also as Birdy pointed out, it can be a little complicated when trying to connect via an appartment network. Since you have no access to the router, you don't know what type they are using or the settings. There's a chance you are firewalled by the router without UPnP or port forwarding abilities. Quote:
Try Birdy's suggestions above. But not only with the listening port, but change setting to Port forward & change Connection port also to one between 49152 - 65535 such as 64049. Some others to try are: 1111, 3500, 4008, 1203, 10000, 15189, 80, 443, 427, 20282, 22817, 34599, 40475, 65530, 6295, 8360, 19515, 20285, 22091, 25079, 26394, 33307, 33049, 42628, 52343, 51002, 50012. |

As WW sugggested, the problem may be your ISP. Try WW's suggestions. Also try Phex to see if you have the same problems. You will probably need to make firewall exceptions for Phex also. ![]() ![]() |
