User Cant Connect - LimeWire

Try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (you can also try other ports in the range of 49152 - 65535) > apply > ok.

What's the model of your Webstar?

im not sure...i will look later

103204605 is the s/n

DPX2203 is the model

birdy does this help

AFAIK there's no firewall in that modem. In LW go file > disconnect. Wait a couple of minutes then file > connect (sounds too obvious I know, but sometimes it works!).

Also go to tools > options > connections & make sure that 'connect on startup' is ticked. If it's not, tick it > apply > ok.

Also delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here.
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Hi ahr19,

Sorry - I don't use Mac. You might be better off posting in the Mac OSX section

You don't say which Java you're using...I don't know which version's best for OSX...you could use the forum search to check that out, or see if this helps.
Setting up Java 1.5

When you set up port forwarding, did you make sure to set up a static IP address first? You'll need to. Check out these instructions for your router, there's a link to static IP info there. Just go through those instructions & double check your setup.
Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRT54GS

You don't have to forward the whole range of ports, just choose one (64049 is one that heaps of people use, but others are fine). Ports in that higher range are recommended because they're sometimes the ones not being blocked by ISPs. I've always used the default port myself.
