When i go to download something i get the all the hosts i can but nothing actually downloads, It all started when my dad enabled the wireless on the router. There is no options that i can find in the firewall options on the router to allow specific programmes through and it has permission from my firewall to access the internet. Could someone please tell me how to make it work.

Any help will be appreciated

Is your LW properly connected to the network (how many green bars do you see)?

Are files moving into the download pane (below search results)? If they're not, see if this helps.

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? CA security centre
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). UK

You're not seeing the firewall icon, which means that there's not a problem with your software firewall or with your router. What happens when you try to download something??
Do the files move into the download pane? Do they sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever? Do they connect ok but then show 0 KB/s for the download speed?

Sorry, but Talk Talk customers have a lot of problems. Have a look at these threads below. If you use the forum search to look for Talk Talk, you'll probably find more threads

Is that it then, TalkTalk

ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire

1-3k downloads

ISPs that throttle p2p - The Scream!

You could try changing ports but there's no guarantee that it's going to help you. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (or something in the range of 49152 - 65535) > Apply > ok.

Yeah it goes into the download panel and connects fine i get 7-10 hosts most of the time but it shows 0kbs as download speed, and i'll look at some of those topics
