I have also been trying to break my firewall (also 4 days) to allow uploads, and find the threads and port discussions not easy to follow. I have about 40 pages of printouts. and still haven't succeeded - yet. It is driving me . In my sys prefs>sharing>firewall>LW>TCP/UDP the port No is 6346. In LW>Prefs>Advanced>Firewall config the listening and manual port forward No is 46964. Not sure if they should all be the same? Still trying to work it out.
Will persevere. Assume you have www.portfoward.com/help/portfowarding.htm
Another thread which may help is Gnutella Forums>Gnutella News and Gnutelliums Forums>Tips&Tricks>Firewall & Port Setting - Some Useful Links.
Still hard to follow though as terms such as static ip, your computer's ip and just ip addresses are seemingly used interchangeably.
Anyway, Good Luck
PS: Are you able to d/l? I still can even with the wall.

Thanks Roimay.

I have the firewall on my Mac completely turned off and I left Limewire listen port as is at 27459. I don't know the 1st thing about portforwarding. I cannot download from LW, when I enter a search it is blank - I only have 1 small bar at the bottom of page and a brick wall. It is not responding at all.

Is LW free to all for downloading - I paid netmoviedownloads.com to subscribe and this is what I got, a big fat nothing as I cannont d/l. I think I was scammed!

Thanks for trying.

You will need someone more experienced and savvy than me to help.
Once working and Understood LW is a good site for D/L.
Cannot help either re Scam or not. I got LW from LW site where, yes, it is free to d/l and d/ls from searches are free. Once I get experienced I will upgrade to LW Pro.
Maybe you have to Trash and start again? But the bar at bottom, isn't that signal strength? If you only have one bar maybe the signal is too weak to d/l?
I expect there is a thread for that if you can find it. Again you need a response from someone who Knows.
Your connection is different to mine as you have satelite where I have router via phone line. Again Good Luck.
