Stief, the brand router is a "2wire" router called a Homeportal 100S. I already had the firewall disabled for gnutella ports. Yes, other people connect via the router (which is HPNA, if that matters) to the internet, but not to LW. Do I need some sort of utility to "map" the Gnutella port is the router?

It should be also noted that I force my IP and LW auto enters the correct IP address even if it changes, as I do connect via DHCP. But it should also be noted that my computer usually stays on for days before a restart. And my cable modem, which is assigned the IP, never goes off. So although the IP isn't a static IP persay, I never turn it off, so more or less it functions as a static IP.
