Your router will (almost certainly) have a NAT firewall and should be blocking file sharing.
I recommend you visit
www.grc.com and use the 'Shields UP' port scanner. This should put your mind at rest.
You could also have a look at
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=16565 for more info about file sharing.
