Don't confuse the two ip's. For port forwarding the ip should be the private ip of your computer. The ports to & from would be both 6346. For Force ip above it would also be port 6346.

Go into the command prompt (windoze) and type "ipconfig" without the quotes of course. That's your private ip.

So in the D-Link website, I just add my priviate IP and add 6346 for both Start Port and End Port? Then click Force IP and add 6346 in Limewire? That's all I have to do?

That web page is how you can control your D-Link device. So yes I think you've got it now. Good luck! You did set up a static ip first didn't you as described at http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm You must have a static ip for this to work otherwise it won't work permanently b/c next time you log on you'd have a different ip (dynamic ip.) Good luck!

I use DWL-520 and this device is not shown in that link you gave to me. So how do I know if I have already set up static ip?

The instructions for setting up a static ip are basically the same for all models. There's a link to how to do it.

Also it should explain in your manual how to do it. I also have a D-Link & my manual does give some explanations. Yours I suspect is this one: http://www.dlink.co.uk/?go=jN7uAYLx/...Jk6j8rFivsyg== else type in your model.

Port Forward.com does not list all models. So if your model is not there it's difficult to know whether port forwarding is possible or not with it. But download the manual & have a look. Then you'll find out whether it's possible or not.

Normally the steps are:
1. Set up a Static IP
2. Forward a Port
3. Force IP using 6346 within LW.

Okay I checked. I had already set up the static IP. So now when I set up the port in D-Link website, which protocol should I enabled, TCP or UDP or both?

Both

Okay so this is what I do

1. Go to command prompt and type in ipconfig - Private IP
2. Go to D-Link website where I set up the forwarding
3. Add Private IP in Local IP
4. In both Start Port and End Port, it will be 6346
5. Protocol will be both
6.CLick enabled and apply
7. Go to Limewire and then Firewall
8. Click on Force IP and Port will be 6346 and apply it

Is that all I have to do? Now I should see huge increase in downloading speed right? Remember I have ultra fast connection, 5 Mbps= 500 KB per sec and more than 300 upload. When I download from any sever except for peer to peer network, I could download at full speed. But before this I could only download less than 20 KB per sec most of the time IN Limwire. So if I am downloading from cable user and it is good connection, I should go over 100 KB downloading speed most of the time right?

Waiting for your respond Lord Of The Ring

hey while i was doing this on the final part after filling out the stuff in the router settings i says not enough space t add this entry. what do i do???

They are the old settings for LW. See Manual port forward instructions & sample image. For your Di-Link router, make sure you set up a static ip first, that's the most important step if port forwarding, Setting up Static ip
