Hello all,

I have a nice shiny new fast PC with oodles of space on it.
I am using WinXP Pro for an OS.
I am on Plus Net for an ISP with a 1mb connection.

For virus & spy-ware protection I am running AVG7 free version\Spybot S&D/teatimer & have spywareblaster installed too.

My modem/router is a Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless G router model 7632-4UK.
Firmware Version AR.0.01.08UK (Oct 27 2004 01:03:29)

It works fine normally, browsing is fine, Xbox Live works fine.

Until I try to run a P2P program.

They will just not connect & download anything.
Also & this is the worst problem, when I start a P2P program, ALL web browsing becomes impossible, I cannot even get to the router page (192.168.2.2).

Perhaps trying some port forwarding would help with the P2P programs?
Well, the Belkin routers do not have port forwarding called "port forwarding".
Instead they appear to have "Application Gateways" so I assume that this is the same thing.

So for instance, for Azureus I have put in
Trigger port 6881 Trigger TCP, Public Port 6881 trigger TCP & enabled.
I also have 6881 put in the virtual server section.

But it makes no difference, Azureus still does not connect.
The yellow smiley face suggests it is a NAT problem.
But all I can do is turn the firewall on or off. I have no wish to turn the firewall off, but when I do it still has no effect ?

Help, suggestions on what to do would be most welcome.
Thank you,
Zoombini.
