O.P. problems with ports
hey, I have recently gotten a router, since my sister had gotten a new laptop.
The problem is now this:
I have two computers with two Windows Live Messanger working, and it is causing some problems, specifically with file transfers.
Other than that I do not see any other problems, but it's probably causing something. In the preferences, there is a tab about connection, which says I have "an internet connection via NAT limited by an UPnP exit"

I have an Edimax BR-6204Wg router, which seems to have UPnP and some unclear support for the MSN file transfer protocol.

what do you know about this?

yes I know about that, but what about the fact I have two WLM clients active?

Uh?

If you mean which ip would you forward them to, then I guess you would have to create 2 sets of rules, one which forwards to your ip and the other to your sisters.

I can't understand why you would need to forward them in the first place though. Might be your router i guess *-)

idunno, it's says it's having problems
anyways, the info on Portforward works for one client, it can't have the same rules for two computers.
