chances are it will have a firewall. so goto start > run > cmd

then at the command prompt type ipconfig, then your ip address will appear

then put it into your web browser address field and your router setrtings will appear. you will be able to open ports from here.

hope this helps

 Post subject: XP Firewall & modem
PostPosted: Sun Aug 28, 2005 8:53 pm 
Ok here are two things that should help you out.

1st) The Windows XP Firewall does not block outbount connections, meaning you should turn it back on and it will not hurt BitTorrent.

2nd) Try this IP address to access your modem: 192.168.0.1 That is the standard default address of external modems. If it doesn't work then look on the bottom of your modem and any labels that are on it.

That was me that just posted, my real account "Dark Shroud" hasn't been activated yet (no email).

But if you want a good freeware firewall try Sygate Personal Firewall, it's a driver level firewall so it doesn't use very many resources, it's easy to use, and it's compatibile with blocklist manager.
