I think i can follow the guide on portforward.com OK (although they don't cover my model of adsl modem, a speedtouch 330), but what i'd really like to know is what if any complications there will be with the process as described there for my LAN setup (which as i understand it is a little unusual - most people have a central router which both pcs connect to the net through, whereas the one i am on now gets to the net through the other one). And also, you talk about SP2. I am fairly attached to it - are you saying it won't work at all with sp2 without patches/uninstalling it, or what?
