Default LW still shows me behind firewall

Hi there,

I have no problem downloading and uploading... I think???

I have windows firewall turned off and my wireless router firewall turned off also but LW still shows a firewall in front of the globe...

I have a linksys wrt54g wireless broadband g router...

The reason I say I think I dont have any problem is I connect fine and feel I have no problems uploading and downloading...

I have a Sprint dsl modem w 3000/512 capabilities...

i also checked the bug report example and it shows a false on incoming session...

Should I be experiencing any problems with the firewall still showing...

Could this be preventing me from faster downloads and uploads...

Thanx
PopMal

Something is still blocking incoming: probably the router.

UPnP should be turned on in the LinkSys, or else a port mapped to a static address on your computer.

I hope one of the Windows users will help, because running a Windows machine without firewalls sounds very risky.

PopMal, have you tried port forwarding?

Don't forget to set up a static IP address. There are instructions within the link

Make sure that your XP firewall is configured. As stief said, you shouldn't run without a firewall!
Firewall setup

Configure your firewall & then have a try with port forwarding. Let us know how it goes!

The Linksys WRT54g has some firmware issues & doesn't work well in UPnP mode. See tips about this under UPnP here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)
