et voilà is a great assister to others; your light through the dark tunnel

Salut, you can see how to access your router there http://portforward.com/routers.htm

Forward the port 6346.

Note that LW can configure UPnP activated routers by itself, and that some Netgear routers support UPnP... Your problem is probably because of software firewalls on your computer like zonalarm or Norton.

Ciao
