HawkStarwind,
What's the model of your modem?
What's your location (if you're with Onelink in Puerto Rico there might be a traffic shaping issue)?

HawkStarwind August 25th, 2006 07:13 PM

well, the avast scan came out clean, and my router is downloading stuff from the web like a champ

HawkStarwind August 25th, 2006 07:15 PM

well, the model is the SB5101i-NP and yeas, im from Puerto Rico, so whats with the traffic shaping issue. they didnt told me anything on costumer support, and id only had cable dsl since wensday.

If you read this article, the guy's also had trouble with Onelink using p2p (including LW).

This article also suggests the same thing. It's a bit older than the first one but still from 2006
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...hia+bittorrent

Unfortunately, if your provider's using traffic shaping for p2p then there's not a whole lot that you can do:( You could try changing ports to one between 49152 - 65535. No guarantees though, it depends on if your ISP's monitoring all ports.
Often, people on an ISP's help desk don't even know that this technology's being used!
Read those articles & see what you think. You'll probably find more if you do a search with Google.

you might call your isp and see if you can trade the moduem you have for difrent brand if your surius about getting it to work i suggest terayon or motorola but they could be using local brands

HawkStarwind August 25th, 2006 07:31 PM

wow birdy, i had no idea this was happening. so its not the modem or the router. its the provider. man, i wish i knew this sooner.

Thanks to everyone who helped, i apreciated!! :)

birdy August 25th, 2006 07:35 PM

Lots of ISPs do it & it's a pain for many people!!
If you do want to try changing ports, you'll have to change LW's listening port (tools > options > advanced > firewall config...you'll see listening port top right. Apply to save a change) plus any ports allowed within your software firewall & any ports forwarded through a modem or router. All ports have to be the same number:)
