So sorry that your post had been missed, it gets a little crazy around here sometimes...

Can you tell me if you go to Tools > Options > Bug Report > View Example scroll down to Received Incomming this Session, if it's true you are not blocked by a firewall, but if it is false you are being blocked....

If you recieved False try updating your drivers for your NETGEAR WG311v2

Also is that card the only way you connect to the internet or do you have a little black box that hooks you up ??
If yes what is the make and model of that...
