I can manually set port forwarding on my linksys router and all is good but I have tried using the uPnP option on my router and configured Limewire to use it as well but it always leaves me as a "leaf" node and when I use port forwarding I get ultrapeer capabilities which is what I want.

(I do not have ultrapeer disabled in the options.)

Salut Raymond, yes it seems there is an issue with UPnP and not being able to be an UP. I don't know why, maybe it is because the UPnP code is called too late/or interfer with the settings that allow being UP.

If you want to be UP in 4.9, you might want to manually forward ports since you are able to do it (congrats).

Ciao

et voilà I do believe you are right I have mannaged a few times to get LW to act as a UP by starting a second LW while the first is running.[

I've done packet tracing on it and it looks like the upnp code is called more than just one time.

can you PM the user zab about it? He is a LW dev, just describe the problem with UPnP and UPs and link this thread.

Merci!

As a data point, I'm using LimeWire 4.9.28 Pro with Java 1.5.0_04 on a LAN connected to a NETGEAR WGT624. When I first brought up LW, it said I had a firewall between me & the 'Net, and nothing I changed in the config would give me pretty bars.

I exited LW and was about to admit defeat, but decided to bring it up again. Within a minute, the firewall brick wall icon went away and I got five blue bars with a Turbo-Charged connection. Using the http://192.168.0.1 admin interface to my router, I see that there are two published forwarding ports (6346/udp and 6346/tcp).

Apparently, with some routers and some versions of LW, the magical UPnP stuff does work.

uPnP is the devil, its developed by satan himself, microsoft. i've never seen it work, only in viruses and exploits

microsoft is better then trolls and uPnP works for me im behind a router and 2 firewall and i always get blue bars
