Hi,
I've posted this question to the Limewire forum but haven't got the answer. Guess, this's the network problem.

Limewire is the P2P file-sharing program that communicate via port 6346

I have 2 machines at home(machine A running in Mandrake 10.0; machine B is running in Fedora Core 4), both running the same version of Limewire and configured to allow local network (192.168.0.*) access only.

From machine B, i searched for a particular song (machine A has this song) and got all the result and able to download it.

From machine A, however, the search never return any result (even though the requested song is definitely in the machine B).

So what is the problem here ?
I guess it's not the Limewire problem, because if it is, i couldn't search and download from machine B. Firewall in machine B is disabled, and firewall in A (which runs in Mandrake) is set to Poor.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks.

please post the output of this command from both boxes:

Here're the oput of "iptables -L"

Machine A:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination





Machine B

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination


Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

well, you can pretty much rule-out the firewalls, as they are both inactive...

if i were you i'd double-check the limewire configuration on both boxes...
