My ISP is Road Runner. I have 2 computers that run Shareaza; a very old one that I just use for Shareaza. That computer runs with Windows XP without Service Pack 2. I forwarded the port in the router and Shareaza does not detect a firewall. My new pc (laptop) has Windows Vista. I am hoping to use the laptop for Shareaza and get rid of the old one. The laptop is the one I am having problems with. I do not have a firewall since I have the router. I also disabled the Windows firewall. My router is a "Netgear". I really appreciate your help. You are very kind!
