Firewall Issues...

[PK|Default PlayR]

Hi everyone!

My sister moved house and changed her ISP to Sky Broadband from Telewest Blueyonder.

Anywhoo, Cant seem to get limewire to connect to the internet. Opened up its own port and created an exception however everytime you open Limewire the port number changes (by itself).

I think its a uPnP NAT firewall issue to do with the Sky Modem however other P2P programs such as torrents work fine. Thats whats got me stumped.

Anyone got any ideas? Cheers!

Note: This is all fiction based...did the USA really land on the moon?

LIMEWIRE = BAD

bad for you, bad for me and especially bad for your computer. if you have to use any P2P downloader, use DC++ but even that has its faults. stick to torrents and nothing else my friend and you shall go far.

it's possible the new isp blocks it, did she keep the same modem/router?
