Yeah, it's strange about Rogers... I would've thought you'd have connection probs & not be able to download it. Hope I didn't jinx it for you

If you go to this web page, you'll see what I mean about different router versions. There's no port forwarding for a plain old BEFSR41 (scroll down thru the Linksys models). But when I looked up the plain ol' version with Google, it says there's a NAT firewall... so port forwarding must be an option. Hope I'm not confusing you too much... do you get what I mean?

I just don't want to point you towards one of those other versions in case the info's wrong for you. You could have a look through the PortForward page anyway & see what you think
