What I meant was that you router (NAT?) acts the same way as a firewall seen from the point of view of a computer on the internet. Enabling the firewall will not solve your problem. It only makes you system more secure. I didn't find the page I wanted to show you. This is the one with all the ports. You wan't to forward these to your own computer. (Firewall) Which ports are used by MLDonkey ? http://mldonkey.berlios.de/modules.php?name=Wiki&pagename=Ports I've seen the result from another computer and didn't start a thread becuase I already had forwarded the ports to another computer. So I'll be watching your thread. Others may find it helpfull to. Could you send a link? -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/
