I am connected through bellsouth DSL and have a linksys router model# WRT54GS the speed booster model and when i try to download anything it says the file is corrupt and wont play it. Could anyone help me if it is a problem with limewire or my computer settings i have no idea how to change it. Thanks again

oh yeah and also my computer came with the new version of norton anti virus which i think uses its own firewalls but i dont know anything about firewalls so any help with walkinhg me through this would be appreciated

On your latter - and possibly more urgent question -

Please check and hopefully confirm that you have a combined 'package' of

Norton Internet Security (or a very similar sort of name) that includes Norton Anti-Virus...

I will be more than happy to help you through the install as well as setup/configuration...

I am sure that there are others out there who will also add their comments...

It ain't rocket science, BUT... There are for sure a few logic chasms on the way... (as opposed to gaps !)

You may in fact have more than one issue to deal with! You use a Linksys router which generally use NAT which is similar to a firewall. Your model must be a new model b/c I can't find exact instructions on forwarding a port on your model. But I suspect you wil need to forward a port to allow LW full access. Your router will limit incoming & perhaps this is related to your problem. I can provide you instructions for forwarding a port on a similar model (WRT54G, or WRT54G v1.1, v2 & CA) if it's necessary.

Please do the following test for me: Bug Report instructions & sample image (click on link) & report back to us whether your result for incoming is True/False?

Another suggestion, update your Java. LW is made thru Java & uses Java for its operation. The newest version was designed with Java 1.4.2 & 1.5 environments. Update your Java here: Java 1.4.x OR the latest Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

recieved incoming this session came out as false bro.

and also the linksys router is brand new i just picked it up 3 days ago and it is a new model.

thanks fopr any help guys

FALSE is a bad sign!!! And Linksys modem/routers use a type of firewall. I think you'll need to open a port (ie: forward a port) within your modem to allow LW total access in & out wards. But to help you do this you need to tell me the model no. It'll be on the top or bottom of the modem most likely. Once I have that I can give you instructions on how to open the port for LW on your modem.

on my modem or my router???

linksys router model # is wrt54gs

bellsouth dsl modem is a westell and model # is b90-610031-06

Oh! You have both! That makes it more complicated (I think!) Give me both the brand name & model no. of both & I'll check 'em both out!
