Yes it does. Unfortunately portforward.com has temporarily taken the airport instructions off their site. The owner of the site has himself just purchased an airport for a mac (waiting for its arrival) & wants to double-check the instructions to make sure everything is ok. You might need to be a little patient.

Win 2K does not come with any firewalls. Unless you've added your own. Also check any av/spyware utilities you have to see if any require that LW has permissions to pass thru.
