Yes it is with the same router. I am a not too literate when it comes to things like that with computers. How do I do that? I can usually fumble and figure something out but this one is kicking my butt.

Hi lilolstang

Here is the website that will explain what port forwarding is and how to do it for your particular modem/router and application that you want to use:-

Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model - PortForward.com

NB. You may not find how you can port forward "Frostwire", I couldn't when I looked, but you can use the instructions for "Limewire" instead.

Hope this helps
