Hi, I had a bit of hassle with firewall, but sorted that out...to an extent!!! I now have a Turbo Charged connection downloading at 1kb a sec....can't seem to speed it up, have tried different settings - modem, dsl, T1 etc makes no difference.

any help or suggestions ??

nice one gary

• Windows Vista Home Basics
• McAfee firewalls
• 1 gig of ram
• About 20 gig of 80 gig HD space available
• Broadband connection
• Modem is NextNet, Wireless Inc. I have lost numbers
• Connecting from my home
• LW 4.14.10 Pro, Java 1.6.0_3(I installed that yesterday)
• My ISP is Clearwire – Ireland
• “My test Worked”…woohoo
• Not sharing with any other computers etc
• this is my first time
• There is a brick wall
• I honestly don’t have a clue about modem/router or UPnP
• I’m running McAfee, came with the laptop, and windows protector
• I’m living in Ireland

Just to say - is this a response to another question you posted? I've got a feeling this is in the wrong thread.

Clearwire are known to throttle p2p bandwidth.

You could try changing LW's listening port (tools > options > advanced > firewall config) to 64049 > apply > ok. Or try other ports in the range of 49152 - 65535.
