Limewire Problems

[msommers]

It's been awhile since I've used limewire but last time it was working fine. Now it won't even connect and says it detects a firewall. This firewall could only be the windows firewall (which has limewire as an exception).

I do have a wireless router, maybe this is causing the problems. In my setup page I can add games/other software to an allow type list but I need port ranges and I have no idea what's going on here.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

It is most likely your router... Read this site *carefully* http://portforward.com/

Thank you, that worked flawlessly.

For anyone else having similar problems: here (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm)

Select router brand/model, application and it will provide an excellent guide on how to port forward.
