I also have a Linksys router. I will try my best to help.

First of all, to make sure your wireless network is encrypted, go on http://192.168.1.1 Click Wireless > Wireless Security. Mines set to WEP but you can choose what type of security you want on it. You will need that key so write it down and keep it safe.

I don't use DC++ but you need to know your computers ip address and your DC++ port for incoming connections. Once you've got these go on http://192.168.1.1 again and click Applications & Gaming. Type DC++1 in the Applications box. Put your DC++ incoming port number in both Start and End boxes. Type the end of your ip address in the box and click Enable. Save the changes and hopefully your DC++ will work.

PS You might have to shutdown your ZoneAlarm when logging onto http://192.168.1.1 I have to shutdown mine whenever I go on the router setup because it doesn't display everything properly.
