Suddenly FW is really firewalled. 4.9.37 has been running well (apart from the odd firewall icon appearing & disapearing) for ages. Now, 'recieved incoming this session' is false & has been for most of the day. 4.10.0 is the same. (Limewire 4.10.0 works fine, no firewall).

I've given FW plenty of time to settle down but it's just not happening! I've deleted the preferences folder & given it a good hour to work itself out.

My test for port 6346 worked. My connection's excellent & downoads are uneffected.

I have Win XP, sp2 (patched)
1 GB RAM, 93 GB free HDD space
Port forward thru a Netcomm NB1300 modem
XP firewall (configured)
ADSL connection from home
FW 4.10.0 Java 1.5.0_01

My comp's been in the shop for the past week but the guys who worked on it swear they didn't change any of my settings. I've been right thru the firewall, static IP & port forward...all settings are the same.

I've been trying to figure this out all afternoon & it's just driving me insane. Maybe I'm missing something really basic but I don't think so. Why is it only FW, not LW?? Please put me out of my misery



Am I going to have to port forward for FW using a different port?

TIA!!
