Before you try to port forward your router, please check that you have got UPnP enabled on the following.

a) Your Windows O/S
b) Frostwire
c) Your Router
d) Your Modem

If all the above have UPnP enabled then your Frostwire should work if, however, it still shows the brick wall then you will have to try port forwarding as a last resort.

Here is the URL leading to the instructions on how to port forward your router.

PS. The Port Fowarding people also have an application called "PFConfg" which will automatically port forward your router, you may want to get this (it cost $29.95). I've never used this app so cannot vouch for it.

PPS. The above URL leads to port forwarding your router with Limewire, I could not find any instructions specifically for Frostwire.

i know both FW on both computers have unpnp enabled, my router also automatically set UNPNP set to on. i dont know where to check windows 7 or my modem though...i dont think i can set my modem to allow but, but like said i had no problem before when i just had the modem, so i dont think it should matter, but where do i go to check windows 7 unpnp?

I use XP Pro so I can't help with Win 7, I suggest you use your Windows help facility that should tell you how to enable UPnP on your O/S.

As for your modem, you have not mentioned the name or model so I can't really say anything about it.

Finally, you said:If your modem has UPnP, and you should check, then you should switch it on because UPnP was developed to enable software and hardware from different manufacturers to work together. By inserting a router in your set up you have introduce a piece of equipment that is running several technologies at the same time and so causing the problem you are getting.

Therefore, theoretically, if everything in your set up is running UPnP then your chain of equipment (hardware and software) should run seamlessly.
