Hi there,
I am trying to share files using direct connect and am running into a problem... I can access the IP of my friend but they can't get to me. I have uninstalled Sygate and a few other programs like that. I don't have anything running that should be blocking anyone. I have reset my preferences to default in Limewire and still no go. I'd really like to be able to share files back and forth so if anyone knows what to do, i'd appreciate a heads up. Thanks in advance, Cleo

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image If it's True then it's fine but if False then you're firewalled somewhere. Get your friend to do the test too.

DC is not always easy & it helps if you both have Chat enabled, have free upld & downld bandwidth & slots available. See: How to Direct Connect, Browse & Chat

Thanks a bunch, I think I found the solution from the links you gave.
