sorry d00d, but we mods once tried using crystal balls and found them to be rather unreliable...

The_Point being, its rather hard to give any sort of advice no knowing what you are using for a firewall, now isn't it...

also in your first post you make a reference to the first light....what first light?

most cultures read from left to right, so in my eyes your reference refers to the light that is about hosts connections...as noted, mine always blinks yellow and green but I have no issues...the light on the far right is for network connectivity and mine is always in the green once I get connected to at least one host...

in the setup field of BS there is the field for connections...you will notice there is a field in that menu for defining the port (which has to be the same for both TCP and UDP)....I set mine to 6348...this is the port you would have to enter as information, if needed, into your firewall settings...

again, since you don't bother to give any information about your firewall, we can't give any relevant advice...many firewalls do the setup pretty much automatically..the program tries to access the internet, the firewall catches it and asks what to do (usually a yes or no), you say yes, and viola, it works...
