Unhappy port fowarding

I need help with manual portfowarding for limewire. I dowloaded the program a few days ago and I have very slow downloads. The port 6346 is busy so I have to us another port. Also the IP address that my computer gives me via the command prompt is different than the one I receive from the "what is my ipaddress" website
1. OS version? Windows xp pro
2. What firewalls you have? I have just the firewall that comes with windows
3. How much ram? 1.86GHz
4. Hard Disk space available? 160gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) cable, I am in a dorm with wireless internet.
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I don't have my own router
I am connecting wirelessly via the Dorms' network
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? student accomodation
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.18.1-- Java 1.6.0_07
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Unknown
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It said 'your test worked'
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes I am sharing the connection with other computer in this building
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have used limewire at home before but I had my own router and I portfortwarded with my own router, the port 6346 was not busy, I was using XP home edition, and my ip address was 192........, and it seemed much easier the last time I did it.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes I see the brick and it say "limewire has detected a firewall" which is what I am trying to remove without disabling my firewall on my computer.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. I am using spybot and AVG.
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). I am in the US
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc?

Hi, I have windows XP and a Norton wirewall. My download speed starts high then drops fast to 0KBs. I tried all of you suggestions and it still does the same but now I have my Disk problem back after getting rid of it yesterday by deleating all old limewire files and installing the new adobe OFFLINE version as suggested in the forum.
Thanks for any help

Default Unable to Download

My first post.

I've been using the old version of limewire for over a year with no problems - mostly for video downloads via torrents.

This week I downloaded the new version and paid extra for the Pro version, however in trying to download a video I've got nowhere, it will not download this is the first time this has happened. I'm 97% complete and it's taking me 5 days to get this far - usually it takes less than 5 hours.

This question may already have been answered (i.e. I need patience) but I've never had any problems before - if I don't use torrents do I have to wait until my required video appears in my limewire search?

Help!

Wink Hey everybody at/on Gnutella!

Hey guys and girls,
Wut up? First off I'd just like to say thank you to everybody here for helping make musician's lives just that much easier.

I am very new to this and to be quite honest I'm not really a computer person. I'm a musician who has been basically practicing all my life and now I believe that I'm ready to get out there and show the world what I'm made of. One of the things I'm going to have to do, in that case, is use one of the most vital tools in the music industries today; the internet. The best way to do that is to be a part of the world's biggest music sharing company and learning how to use it properly. So, naturally, knowing nothing about this software I have to begin to ask questions.

My first question is: How do I upload music on to Limewire? I know it's a very amateur question to ask, but that's the stage at where I am. If anybody could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

My deepest thanks,
Roddy MacIsaac
