Many schools try to block p2p b/c it uses up too much bandwidth which they pay a lot of money for.

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About

LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If

yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

Pal, you've got to do some reading:...here the first:
http://www.portforward.com/help/pfprogression.htm

And that is a link from that page talking about DHCP:
http://www.portforward.com/networking/dhcp.htm

So, you could try to set up a static IP and then forward a port as described in the links. So, there is no guaranty that it will work......

Guess, you've got to check with your mates in the school whether they can connect with LW.
And you should read this here:

which is part of this site:
