distortionrock Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 I've recently been trying to do Port Forwarding on my router but everytime I try to access it with my IP address i'm completely blocked. It says "The connection was refused when attempting to contact...". I'm assuming this is a security/firewall problem but I'm not too sure. I'm running ZoneAlarm Firewall on my Windows XP and my router is a ZyXEL Prestige 900 series. I've tried with all my Internet Browers (Firefox, Opera, IE) but I get the same thing everytime. Can anyone lend me some advice?
Firon Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 turn off your firewall and see if it works.
distortionrock Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Posted November 11, 2005 yeah, I already tried that. I set the settings for ZoneAlarm on Low and so forth but it still gives me the same message. I'm also running Norton and I disabled that too. My computer is still being whiney and not letting me access.
