I have set an IP Address in network and dialup settings, I've enabled "port range forwarding" for 6346 and 6348 and I still am unable to share any files..
When I was not using the router, folks downloaded from me all of the time and so I didn't look like a freeloader.. but now,, I am in router hell over here.
The port forwarding doesn't seem to be working.. Before the ports were "stealth" now they are "closed"
Grrr,
GGRRRRRR
And also... Grr.
What sharing program?
Have you port forwarded TCP and UDP?
Yes I have..
And still it's not sending any files out
I search things and download things very well
Again. What sharing program? :frusty:
All of them.. But I have always used limewire and always had alot of folks download from me
But not anymore, now that I "fixed" it..
I must have done something right, though, because I have never been an ultrapeer in five years with or without the router... is that right?
you're sure you turned xp firewall of ??? and maybe a third or 4th party software firewall ??
for help with your router

have you set the p2p clients to use said ports you have mentioned?
are you using a software based firewall (as jetje's suggestion :))
have you tried enabling DMZ and testing it out?
I set the clients to that port..
No firewall
Windows 2000
What is DMZ?
ost This feature sets a local user to be exposed to the Internet. Any user on the Internet can access in/out data from the DMZ host. Enable the feature as you wish to use special-purpose service.
DMZ Host
IP Address:
It's got the same IP address I used for port forwarding already in there
6346 and 6348 won't work for me no matter what I do
Meaning everything works fine except no one downloads anything
Now, I forwarded 6333 and set limewire to listen on 6333 and to Manual port forward to 6333
And I am seeing a some people try to download
But it says "TRANSFER INTERRUPTED" and this, at 0%
If they were stopping them, at least one would have at least some progress...
Try this...
Obtain a firewall. This is a MUST. Sygate is more than adequate and I thoroughly recommend it. Install, reboot yadayada.
Make sure Windows own firewall is disabled.
Log into your router and enable DMZ (it's in the settings, look for it). DMZ is de-militarized zone and it stops the routers protection... but seeing as you installed a firewall you should be fine.
Done? Reboot. Go back in and make sure settings are still ok.
Try loading up your p2p client again.
If it still doesn't work, change the ports to something else as your ISP may be blocking the ones you're using.
