Howdy,
Perhaps one of you guys/gals can help me out with this: I'm trying to use Limewire, but it won't connect.
Situation is as follows:
Can somebody tell me what the blazes is keeping Limewire from working?
Thanks in advance,
Alphons
P.S.
Apparently there are quite a few alternatives to Limewire. Recommendations are welcome.
Perhaps one of you guys/gals can help me out with this: I'm trying to use Limewire, but it won't connect.
Situation is as follows:
- I'm on a local network with a couple of machines (running various OSes) leasing 192.168.1.* addresses using DHCP.
- There is 1 (one) externally visible IP address assigned to a modem/router that connects the network to an ISP.
- This thingy is a Thomson ST780WL. It has builtin firewall capability (which has been turned OFF) and UPnP capability (which I am authorized to turn on or off).
- I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, no firewall configured.
- HTTP and FTP work just fine.
- I can even dowload torrents using Transmission and/or Ctorrent. The latter appears slow but steady, the former achieves quite respectable transfer rates.
- But Limewire keeps insisting that I'm behind a firewall and won't do anything.
- This problem occurs with both the classic Limewire that comes as a binary package and the new Limewire 5 built freshly from the ports collection.
Can somebody tell me what the blazes is keeping Limewire from working?
Thanks in advance,
Alphons
