First you would have to get into the routers config... which I have never seen in Start/Run/CMD...

Second, the firewall thats built in to routers is crap and you should just disable it

Third, you could set your computer as a DMZ host and end all port nightmares

Ok you explain to him how to config his router...

Obviously hes a total newbie at it. My settings that I gave him would end his problems without confusion... provided he would go research his product on the web, he would have no problems applying those settings...

As far as the firewall in routers... they are crap!

Ok I went to google and found everything you need with ease....

Now since you dont want my help, I wont give it to you...

Oh and the Firewall and/or the antivirus built in garbage (which new problems easily pass) increase your latency and will slow your connection... but you dont want my help so good luck!

Not sure about your router, but mine has a certain IP address where it sort logges into the router and I can make changes to port settings, firewall settings and the like. Try 192.168.8.1 as I believe this is some kind of standard for these things, but I could be wrong. But, if that works, you should be able to make any changes needed, incluing turning your firewall off/on. Try that. Also, your documentation for your router should have all this info. If you lost it, maybe cisco has a pdf file or something online. But I believe in general this is what you want to do. Hope I was of some help.

And if you get tired of your router and want to give it to me, I wouldn't mind :-)

if you want friends connect directly to your pc (e.g. to host games) you have to ga to your router setup (most of the time just go to http://192.168.1.1 in internet explorer), then you have to open the ports and also redirect them to your internal IP address (something like 192.168.1.12). i don't know how the config of your router works so i can't help you further

:pc:
