 Turn your Windows firewall off. Put Limewire on your McAfee's firewall safe rule to let it pass through. As for your toshiba, I had a look at the manual online & looks like a basic modem with no NAT protection or barrier. I would tend to recommend ethernet cable connection over USB for reliable bandwidth handling however. Your gnutella.net file might be out of date.
