Still can't upload
 

I have literally spent most of the night reading all the threads and trying all the suggestions to allow people to upload from me and none of them have worked. :bangh:

I have a Dell Inspiron B130 laptop running XP wireless, my router is a D-Link DI-514.

I went into the router and entered the port, I allowed Limewire in the router and in windows firewall. I finally turned off the windows firewall just to see if the files would upload and they still don't.

I can download like mad and I have hundreds of hits on my library but 0/0 uploads. I do not want to be a freeloader and after working on this all night long I'm so frustrated I want to cry . I agree with previous posts that Kazaa is so much easier but I love that Limewire has no ads and that this forum is available.

I appreciate the assistance!

Did you set up a static IP before you Port Forwarded ??

It sounds like something went wrong within these steps....:rolleyes_2:

No-one can download from you whilst still behind the firewall as they cannot see you...

I did follow those directions and it worked for about a minute yesterday and now it doesn't. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I even downloaded that router config tool on that website which was useless because you had to buy it for it to fix the router. They should tell you that when offering the free one.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
