Hi I am trying to enable sharing and it say that i have a firewall or router blocking it. I have read the forum posts and i have added Gnutella (by going into network and advanced) So it still will not allow me to direct connect What do I do? Please help....

Here's some info on basic connection probs:

Make sure your firewall's configured for LW. Don't run 2 firewalls as they'll interfere with each other! Have a read of the info (in thread) about UPnP, if your router uses it.

Here's some info about direct connect:

Ok...I have tried practically everything Trying to contact Linksys is a waste of time (trust me) if you have any info about the Linksys Model # NR041-WM Please let me know. I have updated Java, and I have researched UPnP. I used to just be able to type in other peoples Direct Connect and it worked just fine...I don't get what went wrong. Now the exact thing it says is: Your computer is behind a firewall or a router and cannot receive Direct connections. I have done the research about my firewall, and Limewire is allowed. I have also allowed Gnutella, by going to properties, advance and entering the information. I have also clicked the link given in the forum and it said the test was good. What am I doing wrong??? Im somewhat computer savvy, but I like a step by step because this seems so technical..Someone please help a girl out. I just wanna Direct Connect --Please Help Me...Pleeeeeeaaaasssseeee

Pleeeaaase Help me

Your Router is a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 go to the link below for port forward instructions for it. It does have a Firewall in it and I believe it supports UPnP but I can not find any instructions for enabling UPnP.
