Firewall problem

I am having trouble with what I believe to be a firewall problem. I am running XP professional, and using a Billion ADSL firewall router. I have LW 4.0.8 running.

I tried the test suggested by Lord of the Rings and received a "false" response. I then followed the link to the LW page regarding firewalls and tried to open a port following those instructions. I don't have the Advanced tab showing and therefore am unable to make any changes to settings etc.

Is there any way I can configure my Network Connections etc so that I can see this tab? I have XP Administrator rights to this pc.

Thanks
