    What I meant was that you router (NAT?) acts the same way as a firewall
    seen from the point of view of a computer on the internet. Enabling the
    firewall will not solve your problem. It only makes you system more
    secure.

    I didn't find the page I wanted to show you. This is the one with all
    the ports. You wan't to forward these to your own computer.

    (Firewall) Which ports are used by MLDonkey ?
    http://mldonkey.berlios.de/modules.php?name=Wiki&pagename=Ports

    I've seen the result from another computer and didn't start a
    thread becuase I already had forwarded the ports to another computer. So
    I'll be watching your thread. Others may find it helpfull to. Could you
    send a link?
