i have firewall disabled on router windows firewall also but it only changes from stealth to closed. I know about www.portforward.com and have done this many times I cant get a loan of a router till tomor to test it my self. i also have reset the router loads of times. its a Netopia 3341 with latest firmware upgrade. Never had a problem with the firmware that was shipped with it. i think that was 7.3
