hidden firewall??

madrab

just got a new dell xps during the week which came with Mcafee Security centre on it and i also have sygate personal firewall installed, but whenever i try to open some ports (btorrent) azureus still comes up with NAT error, i have checked that the windows firewall is turned off

i also tried turning bot of them off but still nat error

any ideas?

How you connecting to the internet? Broadband, dialup, satellite??? Is it a modem or router you are going through??
Its never a good idea to have two firewalls installed. Uninstall McAfee before installing anything else, and just disable XP SP2 firewall.

Probably your router with firewall rules set.

i have the breeze line from ibb so no router (i think)

mcafee came with the pc and i put sygate on as i used it on my old comp

It sounds like, if your using one, a router problem, you need to forward that port, for details of how see

the IBB box isn't a firewall/nat box, so it aint blocking ports. Its either the windows firewall, or one of the other software ones you have. Disable/uninstall all of em except the one you are comfortable using, and see if it works then.
