i have opened the gnutella network ports both computer side and router side so there is no problem there as well as listening ports both side, but i may need to know the specific protocol/server/web service so for eg do you use ftp,http,ldp,ics,pptp,l2tp,pop,smtp, you get the ideo--- so i can make a specific rule.

it may be down to media center cos i cannot run ftp clients or the in built ftp client in windows as i cannot establish a connection with my ftp server
