Before we can forward ports for LimeWire, we need to figure out what ports LimeWire is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up LimeWire.

Click Tools in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click Options.

On the left side of this page click the plus sign in front of Advanced. Another list should have appeared under advanced. Click the Firewall Config option in this new list. In the Router Configurations section we want to put a dot into the Manual Port Forward radio button. Now we need to select a port to use for LimeWire. It doesn't really matter what port you choose, but a port between 10000 and 60000 would be a good idea. These higher numbered ports are rarely blocked by ISPs. Once you have chosen a port please enter that port number into the box to the right of the Manual Port Forward box. That port should also be put into the Listen on Port box. I also need to you enter that port number into the box below.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Click the Applications button near the left side of the page.

Click the Utilities button near the right side of the page.

Click the AirPort Admin Utility button near the right side of the page.

Click the Port Mapping button near the top of the page.

Click the Add button near the right side of the page.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Limewire requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Mapping Add menu and then click Ok.

When you're finished, click Update near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
