Someone please help me....(Trouble connecting)
 

So I have one bar for my connection quality. I have Vista on my computer with the Norton/Symantec pre-installed. I'm not too familiar with my new laptop yet so I'm not quite sure how to get rid of the firewall on Limewire. Can someone please help me? I'm worried that if I just keep messing with it, I'm going to do something stupid lol. If someone could help me that would be wonderful! Thanks!

I hope this helps. I'm sorry that I don't know more about it...

Could you have a look under your Netgear and tell me what the model number for it is...;)
Most Netgears have Nat Firewalls within and need to be Port Forwarded...

The serial Number is 1GK25A1W006C1 and it says "Wireless Cable Modem Gateway CG814WGv2. I don't know if that's what you wanted or not...

Yep that's what I needed...I found the instructions for the cg814wg but not for v2, but it should be basically the same....;)

Port Forwarding for the Netgear CG814WG
