Apparently I spoke too soon... when I got home this evening, the wireless PC won't connect again. LW indicates a firewall is detected.

I suspect that since we obtain a dynamic IP address from Comcast ISP, the IP address I had last night is not the same now. Therefore the DMZ setting is useless now.

I guess I need to figure out another solution now, but at least I know its the Belkin router.

And Belkin's support was useless about this problem.

If anyone has anymore ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.

Are you using the McAfee Security Center, if you are try Port Forwarding the Firewall...
Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center

I have McAfee Firewall. I don't recall any port forwarding capabilities in the Firewall options. The only thing available is granting internet access.

And anyway, the same McAfee Firewall software is running (unchanged) on the hardwired PC and LW is running fine.

I think I have determined at this point that the Belkin Pre-N router is the issue. But I haven't figured out how to keep it from blocking LW on the wireless box. And as I stated earlier, Belkin support was no help. They told me to ask the LW vendor what to do. As you can see, passing the buck.
