:bangh:I don't understand why it would work two days in a row and then now it won't connect. I only get one bar. I have checked the firewall for windows and have tried using both ports. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and that didn't work. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

1. Make sure your D-Link has UPnP enabled; Steps to Enable UPnP for D-Link DI-614+
If you do manual port forward, you must first set up a static ip or else the process won't work; PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall (check far left column down bottom.) One of these techniques of upnp or port forward should work.

2. Make sure you made exceptions for LW in your XP firewall; Firewall configuration instructions (click on link). Security updates are known to sometimes set the firewall back to default settings.

Thank You Lord of the Rings for your quick response. All systems go so far. Very much appreciated. Take Care
