Windows has its own firewall. Check

There have been users with problems using the Motorola SBG900 for p2p file sharing. If you know how to log into it, make sure it is set to run in UPnP mode. Another option is to port forward it twice, one for each of the computers using LW.
Default log in for the router is just
192.168.100.1 typed into your browser address bar. No www or http before it!
Username by default is
admin
Password would be
motorola
I don't know about the Motorolla, but I'm guessing the UPnP setting is under the Firewall Tab on left of screen after you log in. Normally UPnP for routers is already enabled by default.
If you wish to walk the port forward path, check
http://portforward.com/english/route...0/Limewire.htm
This would need to be done for each computer because port forwarding is based on the internal address of the computer. And each computer on your network will have a different address. Setting up a static ip address must be done first if port forwarding is used.
I guess you can try for one computer first to see if it works ok.
