| It says false. But I just opened it and looked. I didn't try to download a file. And like I said, I can download files with a "turbo" connection ...I'll dl a file just for the heck of it and look at the preference again. ~~~~~ I just downloaded a 4721 kb file at a speed of 47-60 Kb/sec. It took me about a minute to complete. The recieved incoming this session is FALSE in the bug report example. Last edited by mharing; November 26th, 2005 at 03:33 PM. |

| false means there is something blocking your incoming connections. Check your preferences->advanced->firewall settings. See if the port listed in the manual box is the same as the one you forwarded in the router setup. LOTR has posted a few links on setting up port forwarding--very useful. See if they help to set up a static IP and matching ports. |

| Thanks for the support Stief, I've looked at preference-->advanced-->firewall settings and tried switching from UpnP (which I had it on..no problem with dl's on this setting) to the manual port setting of 6346. Using LW, I've just downloaded another file that was 5436 kb with a top speed of 170 kb per sec. from a couple of hosts. I got the complete file without any hitches in about 30 seconds. BUT.....LW still detects a firewall...Meaning the brick icon on the bottom left is still there saying "limewire detects a firewall". It sure does not SEEM like i'm being bottlenecked, but the firewall detection icon is still showing. LOTR is a very helpful guy and I've followed up his posts on the subject, but all the help is directed to people who are not able to use LW. I can use it fine, I just want to find out if I am bottlenecked. Thanks for your help steif. I hope I am not being too much of a "bee in your bonnet". Aloha, Mike |

| Hi Mike There's a bit of a bottleneck, but it's the uploaders, chats, or Direct Connecters who will notice it. Good to hear that you can download just fine. In order to accept incoming connections, your machine will need a static IP, and your router forwards the port to that static IP. Typically, you set the static IP in the OS X System Preferences->Network Preferences so that each machine behind the router has a clear path to the gnutella network. So, if the router has the typical 192.168.1 address, you set your machine's staticIP to 192.168.1.2, the other machine to 192.168.1.3, and so on. Then, in the port forwarding section of the router's config page, you map a port to that machine. Say, give port 6346 to 192.168.1.2, 6350 to the 192.168.1.3 machine etc. That way each machine has a clear path in and out to the network, and it will be saved between restarts. Otherwise, the router might give a different IP to each machine between restarts. I don't really know how exactly UPnP works, so the suggestions that I'm giving are for a manual setup. UPnP is designed to avoid all this confusing manual setup, which is great provided the router also cooperates.  |

| I betcha my belkin router is not UPnP'ing hence the recognition of a firewall. I got the router in the first place because I have a tenant who shares the cable connection with me in the house. I was considering setting up a static IP address but the Belkin tech guy i talked to thought it would be a bad idea as it might mess with the settings of my tenant. I suppose if I set up the static IP, I would need to assign a static IP address on my tenant's 'puter as well. I am a bit reticent to mess with my tenants computer. What I don't understand is why with ports forwarded properly on the router for a LW/Gnutella setup and my iMac firewall off, the router still blocks incoming (if thats what is happening). Shouldn't the port forwarding setup allow for this? Ah Belkin ((shaking fist))! I tink I'll try contacting the Belkin tech support guys one more time regarding this issue. |

| I think you can leave the belkin to DCHP, and still give yourself a static. The Linksys routers, for example, allow the numbers below 192.168.1.100 to be static, and the ones above to be dynamic. |
