yes, Every problem I have with my internet sutff (connecting to LW, connecting to Azerus, playing Xbox Live, playing online comp games ) has to do with NAT. I have trying to figure out how to fix this for years, but everyone gives me the same resposne, which is that static Ip site, and the port forward.com site. None of those work of cousre, so hopefully your method will

Oops sorry...http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

This is more than likely not going to help you with the Nat firewall...It can work with connction problems, but by the sounds of the trouble you have been having it's not the fix, but I could be wrong...

You might want to purchase a new modem/router, one that doesn't contain the Nat Firewall....

will do. I jsut it isn't like alst time.

When I first dl'd LW a few eeks ago, I had this problem, and I think I made this topic because of that, and thought the problem was solved, cause it connected. Then the next day it wouldn't coonnect, and had the problem since now. I hope it is fixed.


How the heck do you get aorund NAT's anywyas? Those things have been plaguing me since I got a wierless network, and to this day I have no idea how to get through NAT's. Hell I have never been able to connect to a single game made by EA since 2004 because of NAT!!!

The only thing I can think of is that you had already successfully created a static IP, you see you only ever have to do the static IP once, that's why you where more than likely having so many problems, so now all you need to do is port forward for each application the Nat Firewall blocks...

So maybe when you set up the port forwarding for limewire it worked but you still had the Java issue and your preference folder needed to be refreshed....
Why don't you try one of your games now and just try opening up the port and skip the Static IP part...
If you need a link let me know and I'll see if I can find it for you...
