How to Get Limewire to Work With Wireless Network?

[BADAPPLE]

How do I get limewire to work with my wireless network? I've tried turning off the firewall, but it wont connect

Any ideas?

Limewire can configure itself by using UPnP, it could be your router does not support that.

If not, go to Tools, Options. expand the advanced column and click on Firewall config, choose Manual port forward. Now go to your router and add the port number shown in Limewire to the Port Forwarding section and give your IP address.

Hope that helps

Cheers dude, only problem is I have one of those intergrated modem/router all in ones & there's no ports??

These are virtual ports not physical ones you would plug wires into.

The router will detect a request coming from the outside world to attach to a program listening on a specified port. If you have added a rule to the the Port Forwarding section to route all these requests to your computers IP address, then Limewire will be able to communicate with the outside world.
