| i just got a router for my cable modem and now i'm behind a firewall. i was just wondering how i can disable it. i'm using a linksys wired router. i've looked through all the options in the routers settings but none seem like they have anything to do with the firewall. any help would be tremendously appreciated. thanks... |

Does this have something to do with being able to use active mode in a certain program??? :)
Anyway, I don't think you're actually behind a firewall. Your router acts as a proxy which has the same the effects for that certain program. |

You need to login to the router and you can setup all the ports or just open it up completely.
http://192.168.1.1 is usually the router
address by default.
Linksys I believe defaults to
username: admin
password: (empty)
or maybe its administrator
Best thing to do is find out which IP your computer is being assigned (probably 192.168.1.2) and open up port range like 8000-10000 for apps to use. |

| okay, but when i go into the router options, i cant find anything that would let me change the port. where do i put that number? 'and open up port range like 8000-10000 for apps to use' thanks for the info though. |

Should be under advanced settings
Are you using DHCP? |

^^^^^^ what he said.
when you log into your router, under advanced tools, you will see a option called DMZ .. put in the ip address that your computer is and hit enable.. your computer will "bypass" the firewall settings..
