    I have a Netgear MP101 here that a friend bought and he told me he couldnt get it to work but he is not very familiar with networks, so I took it home thinking I'd give it a shot and then explain the install to him :D

    Turns out I'm stuck also!!! :confused:

    Anyway, I will give any details I think are relevant but if I have missed anything, please ask me.

    I installed the server software and set it up on the pc. I then switch on the unit and it finds my wireless network and associates no problem (I totally disabled security to make this easy and quick!). I set it to DHCP and its assigned an IP address which is perfect. By the way, when I check in my router settings, it shows my PC and Netgear MP101 as the only 2 devices connected to the network.

    I then get it to scan for servers but it finds none, so I do the following

    Router Firewall - OFF
    Windows Firewall - OFF
    Port Forwarding - ALL SET UP
    UDP Ports: 1360, 1900.
    TCP Ports: 1025-1035, 3640, 3641, 4000, 4001, 7000-7010, 49200-49210.
    9 new entries in my NAT settings, called Netg1-Netg9
    Originally had 7 entries as I did 3640-3641 as one and 4000-4001 as one and thought when it wasn't working that maybe I needed to do them as singles.

    Apart from all the above, I cant think of anything else I need to add??

    Oh yeah, I have AVG AV installed and running XP Pro. Disabled AVG "just in case" but STILL nothing!!!!

    I am totally stumped here. There doesnt seem to be a logical reason it isnt working. I even pinged the device from my PC and its perfect also

    SOMEBODY HELP!!! :D
