However you can choose a much higher port such as between 49152 - 65535 such as 64049. But whichever port you choose, you must add the same port number in LW's advanced firewall option as described on that link. 
If you're using NIS, make sure XP firewall is disabled. NIS & XP FW's are known to clash & cause problems. Also results in less security with both running. | some BT routers just need the computer IP entering, rather than the static IP address. That instruction in the above url has that bit wrong - it says to set a static IP. For the OP if this is the case, all he/she has to do is open up the port he/she wishes for LW and it will work. The important thing is to make sure that the listening port and the outgoing port are the same. They can be manually changed. Choose the second option (manual - not Upnp) and change both that and the listening port to the same number and open the same in the router and it will work fine, the brick wall on LW will disappear.  |
